Coaching Matters - A 40% Improvement

Coaching to Win: The World Series is in full swing [this is not a ‘sports’ post; non-sports fans stay with us] and one of the teams competing for the championship is the Boston Red Sox. Last year the Red Sox won just 69 of 162 games. This season, after a change in their field manager, whose primary responsibility is to get the most out of each of his players, the Sox won 97 games. That is a whopping 28 game improvement; 40% more wins than last year!

In addition to the field manager’s role of inspiring best performance, it’s also critical for the players themselves to be leaders in the clubhouse (locker-room) and on the field. When players make great plays on the field, it fuels momentum on the team. It’s exciting to be a part of a team with winning momentum and everyone’s performance seems to improve.

This is also true in business. When everyone on the team, managers and team players alike, take responsibility for coaching and inspiring others, it creates a winning business atmosphere. When everyone in the organization has a good idea about what they and others need to be successful, it’s a lot easier to coach, inspire and achieve world class performance.
