Leadership and Winning?

 

"Why Athletic-Style Coaching Fails The Coach and The Client In Business"

In our society, at least the developed world, there is a lingering question about winning. I found this piece from Coachville's new leader Dave Buck on a declaration on coaching that is directed towards winning.

I'm going to use it to help you see the contrast in leadership styles from Dave's winning style to Mike's leadership philosophy: Generati.

I'm not doing this to show up Dave, I'm doing this to help you understand that as long as we focus on the outcome, rather than the journey, we are doomed to a cul de sac.

Mike,
I read Dave's new manifesto when it arrived in my inbox today but after a few paragraphs found it quite uncomfortable to read on. I was surprised by his view or take on coaching.
What you have written in response is a gutsy, yet articulate statement of your beliefs and philosophical differences in approach. I applaud you for this and it will be interesting to see how this plays out for Coachville going forward. Since the passing of Thomas Leonard, Coachville seems like a ship without a rudder. From my view, it looks like stormy seas ahead.

[Thanks Bob for commenting. I updated my copy and cleaned up a couple of errors, as well as posting some succinct ideas as warnings since the newsletter was published, so please feel free to pick those up.]
Aloha,
Bob
