I was in a meeting this morning with a few of the partners at a great company here in Portland. The purpose of the meeting was to assess how coaching might help them to improve their culture and their results. They already have a good thing going, and have been the gold standard in their industry for the niche they serve.
Like many CEO’s and business leaders today, they are feeling a bit battle-weary. The last three years of economic challenge forced them to make many of the difficult business decisions that many of us faced, including downsizing, cost cutting, and fighting for survival over the short term. Today, they find that they have weathered the worst of the storm, and are now buried with too much business and too much opportunity for their maxed out team.
I know many of you can relate to this story.
