Brian and Chad discuss a model for small business leaders from the book The E-Myth. The E is short for entrepreneurial. (Maybe they should have just called it The Entrepreneurial Myth.)   The simple distinction is that small business entrepreneurs must wear three hats: The technician The manager The owner In this episode, we discuss how a coach can use this model to evoke awareness in their clients.

Brian and Chad discuss ways to get to the heart of the matter in coaching. Too many coaching conversations just scratch the surface of the issue. The topic as well as the person need to explore at a much deeper level in order to create deep awareness, solid accountability, and a helpful learning plan. Brian and Chad give several do's and don'ts.

Brian and Chad talk about four keys to adaptive change by listening to four clips from the movie Moneyball.  Whether you love baseball or not, (Chad does, Brian does not), you'll love this important podcast about how to bring change to your organization.

There are four layers that make up every organization (that is, a group of people gathered together in a structured manner for a specific purpose): Material - the vision, job descriptions...you can put it on paper Group norms - collective habits that connect the material pieces together Interpersonal - between two or more people Intrapersonal - going on inside of me - self-differentiation These four layers are always simultaneously present in everything the organization does.  Challenges occur when one layer isn't functioning well or otherwise functioning layers aren't aligned. The work of organizational development is fundamentally about discerning where the pressure points are (given these 4 layers) and then partnering with organizational leaders to make needed shifts. Group training, individual coaching, and leadership team development are simply different means to work toward this same end (and therefore should reflect the same philosophy). Lee Riley uses his coaching skills to help organizations develop their culture and leadership.  He recently joined the University of Washington part-time as a training and organizational development consultant.
