For 20 years family leaders who want to find a method of engaging their family in meaningful dialogue to grow and get stronger as a business team and family have used the Family Business Training System. They are looking for methods which can provide a long-term sustainable business.
Often the sports analogy can help people get in the right mindset. Even the best teams know they must keep practicing certain skills to perform at a high level. Business is a competitive endeavor. Very few family businesses are immune to competitive threats in their market.
Coaching is a form of leadership that creates a partnership for accelerating player development and performance. You learn how to utilize coaching to engage and strengthen your team. We do this in a number of ways:
We “coach the coach” – teach you or others how to be a coach within your team
We coach your team in person or via video conference and provide valuable, objective outside perspective you may be nervous to deliver
We bring you a professional coach in your local market to be in the room with you
You’ll get a stronger, more productive and enthusiastic team by having meaningful dialogue that leads to new individual and business goals. You can use the tool as I’ve designed it, or use it as a guide and customize it to fit what your family needs. I can help you make that determination.
Now you and your family can use my Family Business Training System to help you explore important topics in a proven way that will bring your team together. The Decathlon gives you a track to have family/team meetings that stay on time and on track to produce meaningful results.
The Decathlon focuses on 10 fundamental skills I’ve found in the most successful family business teams. This process enables you and your team to measure and strengthen the 10 skills:
Mindset – Does everyone have a confident winning mindset and how can they develop that?
Vision – Is there a unified vision that everyone is excited about working hard to achieve?
Communication – How well does the family communicate with all stakeholders?
Coaching – Does the team know how to coach and be coached for better results?
Conflict – How well does the family handle conflict?
Responsibility – Does everyone want to find a way to their results and happiness?
Expectations – How well has the family defined what’s expected from everyone for success?
Accountability – How well does the family do at holding each other accountable for results?
Camaraderie – Does the family know how to enjoy each other even with all their differences?
Support – How can you learn how to support one another as you pursue a great life together?
