  • Sometimes,
    the best coach
    is the one
    who stands next to you.
  • “You, your leaders and your investors are
    interested in learning only insofar as it improves
    performance and gets business results.”
    Michael Dulworth & Frank Bordonaro

    they should buy the expectation of
    improved performance.”
    Calhoun Wick & Roy Pollock
  • “The major challenge faced by managers
    is not understanding the practice of
    leadership. It is practicing their
    understanding of leadership.”
    Marshall Goldsmith
  • “Leaders who don’t follow-up, don’t improve.”
    Marshall Goldsmith
  • “Coaching is something
    we do with people,
    not to people.”
    Ken Blanchard

    and struggle with before earning
    that have the greatest worth."
    Sarah Dressen
  • “Your job is to get them better. Holding people accountable
    to high standards and results is nothing to apologize for.
    Failing to stretch them to their potential is.”
