Wild or Crazy | 7-Step Process

The RESULTS Model™

Our innovative 7-Step Process was created from our experience in coaching hundreds of leaders to get better results. It's new economy focused which means we coach leaders how to thrive amidst a chaotic, constantly-changing world.

Just as importantly, this is about coaching, not training or consulting. We believe training and consulting will change what a person knows, but it doesn't change what they do. Coaching is about behavior changes, and our powerful program helps a leader change their behavior in these seven key areas. When that happens, watch your results explode.

1. Transform Chaos Into Sanity

We don't have to tell you that your employees today are stressed out and burned out by the sheer volume of work that has to be done. Our focus in this part of the process is to help you and your leadership team create a single laser focus WITHOUT squashing creativity. (Yes, we know. Quite a feat.) We'll help you integrate effective strategies that balances creativity and structure such as learning how to:

1.	Handle the sheer overload of information hitting your team every day
2.	Fight distraction, the true enemy of today's workforce,
3.	Stop micromanaging and microdoing,
4.	Transform how you lead (literally) and
5.	Dramatically simplify internal processes in order create sanity in a chaotic work environment.

2. Honor Your People

Our society is suffering from truth decay, and our Coaches will help you see all the ways leaders (and you) dishonor employees. Inflexible work environments, judgmental attitudes, playing the "impress me" game, rewarding the wrong behaviors, lack of resources, micromanaging - these all lead to dissatisfied and frustrated employees who don't have the inner fire to produce amazing results. You'll either experience turnover problems with your key talent or worse, your people will check out mentally and not be motivated to produce the results you want. We'll coach you to:

1.	Identify the subtle ways you dishonor your people - and develop strategies to do things differently
2.	Discover what truly inspires your team and use what you've learned
3.	Put people first, results second, and then watch your people achieve what you always knew they could
4.	Change how you lead in order to retain your key talent without being handcuffed by them
5.	Use powerful coaching skills that integrates individual goals with company expectations

3. Maximize Productivity

We've found the underlying problem in most companies is the average worker doesn't know how to prioritize based on what's best for the company. Most react to who's screaming the loudest - or worse, to whatever their boss has cooked up that day. The other challenge most leaders face is having to juggle both a short-term and a long-term focus. Management cares about this quarter's productivity, but also puts emphasis on building for the long-term. It's extremely difficult to do both.

We challenge you to walk around their companies and ask your team what they personally do to drive profits in the organization. Most have no idea how to answer that question. We'll coach you how to:

1.	Prioritize what's on your staff's plates by using our Power of Three philosophy
2.	Help your staff improve their results by doing what matters and eliminating what doesn't
3.	Integrate the short-term with the long-term without losing your mind
4.	Push back on projects that don't add any value no matter who's asking for them to be done
5.	Use a simple, consistent and concentrated system so everyone (including you) stays focused and on track

4. Use Speed To Your Advantage

Many leaders believe that if they could only get their staff to work faster and smarter, they'd be able to stay ahead, compete and keep up with the technological changes. Worse, leaders continue to push quarter after quarter without giving their team a chance to breath. The truth is you've probably done the "faster is better" thing, and it doesn't bring the results you wanted from your work and in your life. Our Coaches will help you shift out of your Urgent Mentality first by showing you how it creates unhealthy, workaholic environments. Yes, we understand this is the "world of the Internet," but the true answer is knowing when to use speed and when to go slow. You'll shed your "faster! faster! faster!" voice so your people have time to be proactive rather than being reactive all day long. We'll coach you to:

1.	Get clear on what the right pace is for each activity you and your team does
2.	Strategize on where to speed things up and how to slow them down
3.	Stop being a firefighter so you're solving problems with permanent solutions
4.	Know when to rest and how to avoid the guilt that goes along with that
5.	Use speed as a competitive weapon in a conscious, strategic and results-driven way

5. Leverage Their Strengths

In some leadership programs, managers are taught that they need to constantly be putting their employees in situations where they can learn new skills. Consequently, if you look around their departments, introverts are doing an extrovert's' job or creative people are honing their analytical skills. If you want to drive results in your organization, you must put the right people in the right jobs. Our Coaches will help you identify why you're so focused on your weaknesses and what isn't working -- and how to leverage from a position of strength. The truth is when your employees are in the right positions that allow their brilliance to shine, results explode and so does overall job satisfaction. We'll coach you to:

1.	Discover your own brilliance so you can leverage from a position of strength as a leader
2.	Discover your team's strengths so you can use them to get better results
3.	Redesign the workload to maximize success
4.	Stop focusing on what isn't working so you can move into mastery
5.	Work in a more natural, less stressful way

6. Communicate With Power

We believe most leaders do a tremendous job of creating a vision for their team, but they do a poor job of communicating that message in order to get better results. Leaders focus on the "what," but their employees want to know "how" to make the vision real. And leaders simply don't know how to articulate this. They instead say things like, "That's why I hired you. You figure it out." An employee walks away frustrated and unable to produce the results they both want.

Our Coaches will help you create a compelling message so your staff is inspired by your vision.We'll coach you to:

1.	Follow our powerful Master Communicator equation
2.	Get clear on your personal communications style and know when to use it
3.	Format a message so your staff is inspired by what you say rather than rolling their eyes at you
4.	Prevent miscommunications problems that always show up in a fast-paced environment
5.	Build consistency and power in how you communicate

7. Get A Life!

Yes, it's true. If the leader doesn't have a life, he or she expects their employees to work as hard and as long as they do. It's your job as a company leader to model the behavior you want for your employees. If you don't, who will?

Our Coaches will addresses the real reasons you are so darn busy, and they'll shares key strategies to use in order to have a reason to leave the office at a decent hour. We'll then coach you and your leadership team how to share this overall philosophy with your staff so they too have something to go home to. Yes, business is personal, and this part of the process addresses the deeply satisfying reasons to work.

We'll coach you to:

1.	Identify what truly stops you from going home at a decent hour
2.	Leave your briefcase and laptop at the office without feeling pangs of guilt
3.	Take more vacations and actually get more done
4.	Create an environment that allows your people to get a life
5.	Develop a compelling reason to balance results and retention without working so many nights and weekends

(This isn't about sacrificing results for your life. It's about having both.)
