LEARNING TO COACH OTHERS

As a leader you must keep
Your team inspired by purpose
And vision for the long term
That means you must be not only
A leader but a coach

Leaders communicate purpose and vision
But coaches show us how we can
Turn vision into reality
A great coach leads from the front
From the rear, from the side

Wherever he or she can be serve
The players and the vision
Great coaches help us keep going
To achieve even the most out of reach vision
Learning to coach others

Whether in sports, at home or in business
Part of a coach’s job is to create the vision
And then get others to believe
That vision is possible
Learning to coach others

Great coaches are great listeners
They’re also willing to let their players
Shine while they lead from the sidelines
More important they’re dedicated to doing
Whatever it takes to help the team grow
As a great coach and leader

Your team will run off the field saying
We did it! not coach did it and you’ll
Have the enormous satisfaction
Of having helped an entire team fulfill
Its vision and purpose long with your own
