Dave Stachowiak: Coaching for Leaders
Dave shares relevant dialogue from recent interactions with Coaching for Leaders listeners.
Key Points
“The beginning of wisdom is the definition of terms.” -Socrates

“You can have everything in life you want if you’ll just help enough other people get what they want.” -Zig Ziglar

Leadership is where you are going. Management is how to get there.
Mentoring should be a two-way street. The mentor should be getting as much insight and wisdom as the mentee.
Real selling is providing solutions to problems and building relationships.
At the root of every human conflict is unclear expectations.
