Focus on Them

The goal for all business leaders, coaches, and educators should be to create an environment that maximizes learning and growth for those you lead, train, or teach. Being a leader is a challenge—however, we may make it more difficult than it needs to be. A critical first step is to recognize that leading is not about you, it’s about whom you lead. Accomplishing any goal, whether it’s competing in sports, passing a class, or excelling at work, requires building a culture of trust—because learning happens most effectively in a collaborative environment. Learning, at its most basic, is change management—and all the same rules apply. Focus on Them explains what it takes to build the team atmosphere to do all these things—for teams on the field, in the classroom, and in the workplace.
