Intro:
This episode explores why transformation—not just change—should be every leader's goal, and why coaching is the bridge to get there. You'll hear how intentional coaching builds resilience, fuels growth, and unlocks the hidden potential in your team.
Summary:
Mike and Dave dig into the difference between change and transformation, the roots of Dave's "radical growth" approach, and why leaders today must master both storytelling and coaching. They break down why questioning is more powerful than directing, how to prepare for a coaching conversation, and the 80/20 principle for listening vs. talking.
