Virtually every great athlete in the world has a coach to observe them, support them and encourage them to succeed at their skill. They help athletes be winners. Even the great Tiger Woods has a coach.
Every CEO I have meet, probably close to 100, also has a coach to help them make the right decisions. Their coach is a sounding board to "bounce" ideas with.
But, very few people at work have a coach to meet with everyday to help them to develop themselves to their fullest. Very fortunately, around nine years ago while I was teaching at Portland State University, I discovered Takashi Harada, rated in Japan as the developer of the World's Greatest Technique on day-to-day management to develop people to their fullest.
Mr. Harada was once a track and field coach at a junior high school in Osaka, Japan where 12 students won 13 gold medals - a miracle for this one junior high school out of 14,000 to win so many medals. Mr. Harada became very famous and left the school system, opened a consulting company and over 92,000 people have been taught his method.
What makes a great coach: 1. He/she has an exact plan, a model to follow. 2. The coach teaches the precise steps to follow for the student to succeed. 3. The coach observes and gives you feedback on your progress.
