Opis

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.
Focus on Them is the winner of two 2015 Idaho Author Awards and a 2015 North American Book Award in Business.
"While you may assume that much of this book is common sense, I can personally attest to the deep reflection behind each chapter. While 'making a difference in the lives of others' may be the ultimate goal for many of us as leaders, the first step is understanding ourselves. A must-read for every sports coach, professor, and business manager." Dr. Ron Bonnsetter, Senior Vice President of Research & Development, Target Training International
