Leadership and Management Team Coaching

Waiting for the economy to restore your bottom line? Waiting for your employees to be more productive? Waiting for the day you don’t have to carry the burden of fixing all the problems?

Waiting is killing your business and your effectiveness as a leader. If you want a better bottom line, and relief from the stress of waiting then its time to make some critical choices. It’s not the economy, your employees or your stress level that will change the course of your company’s future. It’s what you’re thinking about and how you are communicating that is hard on your blood pressure. How you and your team lead, communicate and manage together makes or breaks your bottom line. We have seen it in every type of business we’ve worked with. Company growth gets stifled by poor information exchange.

If you want a high powered team to knock a hole through that growth ceiling and you’re done waiting, then engage Rob McGregor as your secret weapon.

“Working with Rob has made a huge difference in my company. I wouldn’t have thought coaching would do much more than help me lead without all the stress. What it really has done is made this company more profitable. He knows how to help me manage more effectively instead of reacting to everything. He has incredible people and business sense and his tools for helping me change my ways are invaluable.”
Gary M., president of $18 million contracting & service company 

You can’t manage without people. But they take up so much time!

Every business owner has people challenges: Managers that don’t manage; employees that don’t cooperate with each other; people who love to change the system; people who guard the status quo; and those that love to point out what’s wrong, and make it your problem.

So if you have a lineup of problems waiting at your door every morning, or never hear about anything until it is too late, or have a raft full of technical wizards but lack planning, organization and alignment and are tired of wondering how and when any of these issues will change, then you need a new bag of tricks.

In my company, the same problems and frustrations would buzz around the office and no one ever seemed to take responsibility. I had this attitude that I had to fix everything. It was driving me crazy. It seems obvious now, but Rob helped my whole team, and especially in understanding who owns the problem and what was causing it. I learned to see our operation in a new way and our problems are being dealt with in a way that was never possible before.”
Elaine D., CEO of a $40 million manufacturing company

In fact, you probably need to make some critical changes to how you lead and manage yourself so that you start getting more of what you do want and a lot less of what you don’t want.

Ready to challenge your own methods and get on with getting the success you want with the people you have on your team?
Then do what the pros do and engage a leadership coach who knows how to bring out the best in you and teach you tools and techniques to bring out strategic leadership skills you never knew you had. Learn how to have the difficult conversations that sort out who is responsible for what in your organization so you and your crew can end the blame game.

Not Sure Coaching is for You?

Think about this fact: Most of us can tolerate a lot of suffering if we have someone to blame. It almost feels like the reward for having to put up with the drama. And there is the catch 22: we won’t deal with the issue, we will tolerate it because blaming gives us a payoff.

The real question to ask is “at what cost?” How long will you put up with the cost to your health, the culture and your company’s performance?Blame and it’s cousin, avoiding responsibility have big impacts on profitability. And you have the power to stop it with coaching and tools.

Before I met Rob, I couldn’t wait to get out of the office at 4:30. None of our people seemed to be able to make decisions or think through the impacts of the  decisions they were making. I would tell them what to do and spend hours in what I thought was training them, and nothing would change. I found out                from Rob that my approach was causing me a lot of stress. It took awhile for me to see it, but now I know how to mentor our people and make the change          stick. Their decisions are way better which is what turned around our profitability.
