Going From a Leader to a Coach

This week I kick off Week 6 of the Inspired Child care Business Leaders Club and I am enjoying every week of Empowerment.

This week’s topic is all about the importance of being a Great coach for your team. In fact, I believe that a winning team has a great coach.

Do you view yourself as a Boss or a coach? There is truly a difference in bringba boss vs a Coach. A boss dictates and a Coach Inspires!

Furthermore, I’m not a big sports fan, however, when I do watch sports; I pay attention to the coaches and how they motivate the team to win.

With that in mind, I want to ask you several questions:

1.Have you developed the coach within you?

2. Do you find your self dictating to your team in stead of motivating them?

3. Have you truly developed the leader within?

Your answers are indicators of your leadership style.

Furthernore, If you need assistance with your coaching style and most of all, help with building a Winning Child Care Team, I want to invite you to join my Childcare Leaders Club. Sign up today!

The Leadership Meeting

“Everything Rises and Falls on Leadership.”- John Maxwell

Your business success is solely dependent on your ability to lead a team or other leaders. In 2017, I took on a second location and at that time, I had two Directors and 20 employees. Back then, I realize that I could not be everywhere at the same time, however, I had two wonderful Directors, that could see what was happening on a daily basis in the facilities.

This is when I decided to do a weekly leadership meeting to stay informed on what was going on in the facilities and I also, utilized Leadership meetings as a way to inspire my Center Directors. I must be quite honest with you, it is one thing to lead yourself and hold yourself accountable, but when it comes to holding others accountable, that’s a whole new ball game.

Do you have a Center Director? Do you have multiple locations? Do you frequently leave someone in charge of your home daycare or center?

If you answered yes to any of the questions above, I want to challenge you to hold a weekly Leadership meeting to be sure that your Leaders know what you expect, and it is a great way to set goals together for Business Success!

Here is a Sample Leadership Meeting Agenda:

Date: Time:

Start your meeting with a funny story or Prayer.

List a leadership Quote on the meeting agenda.

Be sure to indicate the date and time of the meeting.

Agenda:

  1. Safe playground practices
  2. Getting prepared for an upcoming licensing visit.
  3. Address Parent concerns.
  4. Our goals for the week.

Look ahead together and discuss upcoming events, etc.

I hope that you are inspired to empower those Leaders around you to assure that your Dream is carried out by Leaders that you took the time to inspire. Also, I want to encourage you to download my Art of Owning a Center Coaching Series or my Book 7 keys to Successfully Managing multiple Locations.

Please take a moment to let me know if you are a Center Owner with one or more Directors on your team. I am working on a membership club for Child Care Leaders.

With your Success in Mind!
