A month ago, a searcher turned CEO reaches out to me for EOS implementation/exec coaching. He wants coaching- specifically for a key employee.

Ok, I'll take the call. I have room.

Within the first 5 minutes it becomes apparent this isn't a fit.

When probed about why the need for this type of coaching for his team member, he responds with:

"I just need him to do what I tell him to do and his the KPIs I gave him. That's it."

No mention of opportunities for growth, current strengths, or any desire to be involved in the process as the leader.

You can choose to be a manager or a leader.

If you treat your team like assets, you're a manager.

It pays to lead.
