Over the past week I’ve had the good fortune of working with a beverage distributor in my area. We’ve broken up the Two Day Rockefeller Habits Workshop into four half day sessions. In our first half day we defined their organizational structure to identify the key seats in their organization, where, if any, there are multiple people in key seats and where are their empty key seats. At the same time I’ve been reviewing Jim Collins’ How the Mighty Fall. It’s reminded me of Collins emphasis from the Dallas Growth Summit Your Company Key Indicator for People - Corrections.

Whether you’re a business person considering hiring a coach or concerned whether your employees will respond to your coaching there’s just one major factor that determines success. The biggest challenge Marshall Goldsmith noted is selection. If they don’t care or you don’t care don’t waste your time. As a coach or a business owner you can’t change those who don’t want to change. You can only help if the person you are working with wants to change. Inner motivation is the key to successful coaching.

Since hearing Darren Hardy speak about the Compound Effect and the discipline required for success I’ve been working on establishing the rituals he recommended. Although I’ve considered myself to be a pretty disciplined person, the disciplines Hardy describes require a tenacity and determination that few are willing to follow.

After hearing Darren Hardy of Success Magazine speak I went to Amazon to check out his book The Compound Effect and read the reviews. It’s interesting to read the negative responses. Most of them offered that what Hardy offered was nothing new, just a rehash of success formulas and ideas provided in books like Think and Grow Rich, etc.

Please forgive the length of my last blog. Believe it or not it was longer but I edited some things out. I’m afraid I was suffering from education overload. Each day we start the Growth Summit at 8 AM. When that concludes at 4 PM Gazelles coaches gather for another two plus hours in additional education and planning.

Graham Weston took a risk asking our Growth Summit audience to give him comments good or bad about his company Rackspace. At the core of his curiosity is a commitment to a cultural change he began in 1999 which has sky-rocketed his firm to enormous growth and an envied position in a highly competitive expanding marketplace. A CEO from the audience responded describing an emergency situation where their server went down right before hosting an on line webinar at 10 PM on a Saturday. Rackspace answered their call immediately and worked through the night to help them get their webinar on by 6 AM Sunday. The CEO said it was the most impressive customer service performance he’d ever seen.
