Great Coaches

Great coaches are great, not because they were super stars, but because they know how to awaken the star that sleeps in each of the players around them.

Great managers don’t show you photos from their own vacation, they ask to see the photos from yours. And it makes them happy to see you had a wonderful time.

Great managers look for things to praise in their people, knowing that it takes 7 positive strokes to recover from each negative reprimand. Think about it. If seven out of eight times we encounter our boss we receive an authentic, affirming comment, a bit of happy news or a piece of valuable insight, we love to see our manager coming down the hall. But if our encounters with the manager leave us deflated, discouraged or scared, our hearts sink when we see them coming.

Do people love to see you coming? If not, begin looking for things to praise. Keep your ratio of positive comments 7 times higher than your negative ones and they’ll soon begin to smile when they see you coming. This newfound attitude and confidence will bring new levels of productivity. And all because you believed they could do it and made them believe it, too.

Hurting people, hurt people.
