Coaching Never Ends

Have you ever thought if I coach this person now I will not have to coach them later? Have you heard managers or leaders say I have spent time coaching them I am not sure why they do not get it? Coaching never ends!!

There is a reason NFL teams have coaches for every position because regardless of how go you are you still need a 3rd party opinion to make good decisions. Think about it, in the NFL these are the most talent athletes in their positions yet they still need coaches. Take a look at Peyton Manning, he is possibly the best Quarterback in the game today yet everyday he is reviewing film, working on mechanics and throwing additional passes to his teammates. Do you really think Peyton needs to learn how to throw?? The answer is no but he needs to continue to refine his skills if he wants to remain on top.

As a leader you have to be a great coach, you have to be able to listen, teach, demand performance and provoke thought. So many times in business leaders do not understand coaching is not always about solving problems yet it is about help the person solve their own problems. If you do not have a coach today, go get one, if Peyton needs one so do you!
