MSBCOACH, LLC Building Leadership that Builds Business

How We Work With Your Organization:

To identify the elements of worker engagement, research firm Gallup

conducted many thousands of interviews in all kinds of organizations,

at all levels, in most industries, and in many countries. These 12

statements -- The Gallup Q12 -- emerged from Gallup's pioneering

research as those that best predict employee and workgroup

performance.

1. I know what is expected of me at work.

2. I have the materials and equipment I need to do my work right.

3. At work, I have the opportunity to do what I do best every day.

4. In the last seven days, I have received recognition or praise for doing good

work.

5. My supervisor, or someone at work, seems to care about me as a person.

6. There is someone at work who encourages my development.

7. At work, my opinions seem to count.

8. The mission or purpose of my company makes me feel my job is

important.

9. My associates or fellow employees are committed to doing quality work.

10. I have a best friend at work.

11. In the last six months, someone at work has talked to me about my

progress.

12. This last year, I have had opportunities at work to learn and grow.

“Authentic Life: Helping Leaders and Executives to finally GET A LIFE!”

Most of us are not taught personal leadership skills: self-awareness, values, intrinsic motivation and life balance, least of all empowering others. Without feedback, support and accountability, we try new thoughts and behaviors without lasting results. This shows up in profitability. This is where MSBCoach steps in. We partner with you to develop authentic leadership and build high-performance teams by investing in individuals…

-turning potential into success!

“Whether you think you can or think you can’t, you’re right!”

- Henry Ford


Those who hire coaches are visionaries. They have a drive to achieve the most out of their career, business, family, and personal life. The coach is their partner, mentor, facilitator and encourager to help individuals discover their dreams (tapped and untapped), map out a plan and accomplish the impossible.



Based on the above formula, the cost of turnover for a leader whose annual salary is $75- $150,000 is $24,375 to $48,750 annually per person ** This formula attributed to Saratoga Institute and Kepner-Tregoe Inc. For more details on this report go to www.kepner-tregoe.com

This results in critical and creative thinking - not always looking to find “the” answer, rather to explore all the possibilities through engaged thinking.



At MSBCoach we not only strive to bring our clients the best measurement tools and coaching, we also evaluate ourselves and work hard to deliver consistently the highest caliber Executive Leadership resources available. We do this through measurement and implementation. Below are just a few examples of what you can expect when working with MSBCoach:

We begin the process with a comprehensive questionnaire designed to get to know each candidate’s unique talents and coaching needs.

Questions from the MSBCoach New Client Packet

“Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.”

-Peter F. Drucker



Questions from the MSBCoach Workshops and Feedback Questionnaires

Just as our clients expect to see return on their investment from

coaching, MSBCoach does the same. We have added a team of

skilled coaches and support staff who work diligently to bring the

best in leadership information and innovation to every MSBCoach

partnership with you.

-George S. Patton


“If you want to succeed you should strike out on new paths, rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success.”

-John D. Rockefeller Founder of Standard Oil Company


As a leader or team member you are creative and whole. As a leader or

team member you are the core. Each leader and team member makes the

gears in this process turn.

In the I Phase the team will partner with your coach to identify

challenges, opportunities and discuss what you want to accomplish.

Together we gain understanding by using tools such as: Strength Finder,

DISC Personality Profile, 360° Feedback, and Emotional Intelligence.

The S Phase allows you to be mentally and emotionally prepared to

accomplish what the team has identified in the I Phase. This phase is not

about finding “THE” answer but rather opening

your mind to explore all the possibilities to the

answer.

1. Shift mindsets where there are mental

barriers

2. Discuss probing questions regarding:

A. Barriers in reaching goals

B. Energy

C. Work-life balance

In the C Phase we will discover ways to create

breakthroughs for the team’s future. We will

combine information from the I and S Phases to

create an environment for personal and team success.

1. Set goals and timeframes

2. Create a plan of action

3. Execute your plan of action

AUTHENTIC LIFE– LEADERSHIP INTEGRATED FOR EXECUTIVES


EELP– EMPOWERING & EMERGING LEADERS PROGRAM

Our Mission is to empower executive and emerging executive leaders to be authentic in self-leadership and lead high performance teams and organizations.

You will see real-time differences immediately

You will gain an integrated perspective

You will be more successful in practical affairs

Our approach is outcome oriented

We do not give you the answers but the tools to explore all the possible answers

You will learn to engage in critical thinking

Are you looking for ways to enhance your business success, make impactive leadership decisions, and use creative and strategic problem solving? Would you benefit from a support team of experienced business owners, executives, and like-minded peers? Are you a current or emerging executive leader? Have you looked at MBAE programs but are not sure what the right fit is for you? Have you completed your MBA and still want more? Or have you looked at MBA programs but are not sure if they are the right for you?

If you answered yes to two or more of the above questions our Empowering & Emerging Leaders Program (EELP) may be exactly what you are looking for. Through EELP, you will see immediate return on investment. EELP is for both current executives and emerging executives. You will improve leadership skills as you collaborate with relevant, real-life, successful executives and entrepreneurs. The EELP program provides a flexible learning environment for information exchange in an executive friendly format. All topics are real-time applicable to issues leaders face on a daily basis. There are programs designed for emerging executive leaders, current executive leaders, and combination sessions.


EELP can be done on site with your leadership team or individuals may participate in our nationwide EELP

Competitive pricing

Real-world experience of instructors vs. the traditional educational/theory experience

Smaller classes for collaboration and relationship building

One-on-one time with instructors

Peer group coaching

Individual coaching

Real-time experiences and whitepapers to express practical application of what is being learned

Class flexibility

Our Faculty is one of the many attributes that sets EELP apart. You will learn from real-world, experienced executives and business owners. Our faculty is highly engaging and inspiring. They are passionate about investing in other leaders to empower their lives and careers.

Our EELP will empower you to become exceptional as you lead with authentic leadership. Authentic leadership begins with self-discovery. This is where a leader explores what drives them. Out of self-awareness, true leaders emerge. Seventy-five percent of Stanford Graduate School of Business Advisory Council recommended self-awareness as the most important capability for a leader to develop. This is the very reason Phase 1 of the EELP is dedicated to self– leadership, and Phase 2 to team and organizational development.

EELP– EMPOWERING EXECUTIVES LEADERSHIP PROGRAM



70% of leaders will fail in their newly promoted roles. This is a direct result of the leader's inability to connect with the team. EELP sets leaders apart. It ensures they will be a part of the 30% who succeed. EELP begins with a leader's self-awareness and moves to applying this awareness to building strong teams and organizations. Out of self-awareness, true leaders emerge. The EELP is an Emerging & Empowering Leaders Program designed to develop leaders from the inside out. This is not a theory class. Emerging executives train with successful entrepreneurs and executives who coach them in self-leadership and developing high-performance teams. This is real-life, real-time training, so you get immediate results. EELP is a unique program that is successful by combining executive coaching -in tandem - with powerful, interactive workshops.

Seventy-five percent of Stanford Graduate School of Business Advisory Council recommend self-awareness as the most important asset for a leader to develop. This is why we begin by evaluating a person’s true intrinsic and extrinsic motives, through discovering authentic leadership. We increase awareness of one's strengths and discover the importance of:

emotional intelligence self-management relationship management social awareness values, ethics, goals personal wellness and leadership balance in processing work/life integration executive presence

Visit www.emergingleader.info for more info We embrace a holistic approach to leadership for the leader and the organization. This approach opens a leader's understanding to the interconnection of every department within the organization.


The second phase of the program focuses on leading high-performance teams and organizations. We work with leaders to engage in critical thinking and encourage their teams to do the same. We explore the best practices in:

delegation

communication

motivation

talent recruitment and retention

dealing with conflict

tough conversations

project management

managing laterally and managing up

managing different generations

stimulating creativity in the workplace

running effective meetings

innovation

situational leadership

We take pride in our approach. We do not give our participants the answers but the tools to explore all the possible answers.

“None of us are likely to achieve the leadership of Abraham Lincoln, but what an example from whom to learn and emulate. He was authentic. The principles he practiced have been reaffirmed with time. He was rare in that he eschewed the autocratic style of power and authority common in his day for one of humility and service. He exhibited “emotional intelligence” long before we coined the term.”

The 360 Leadership Profile is a coaching tool designed to raise self-awareness. The results of this confidential survey assist us in co-developing a strategy that increases productivity and work satisfaction, both leading to increased bottom line profitability.

These profiles are administered on an individual or organizational basis and open the door to increased communication and a greater understanding of the Leadership Development process.

The sample below shows one such profile:

Emergenetics is a self-descriptive test — You answer a series of questions about yourself, your responses are scored and the results are compared with a group norm. Whether you are teaching, training, hiring, leading, or interacting with your team, Emergenetics methods facilitate communication and promote greater job and personal effectiveness. It is unlike any profile or assessment process with which you may be familiar.

DISC Personality Profiles: Being an effective leader and team member involves understanding yourself and others. Learning your personality style and other personality styles will help you be more successful in work and personal relationships. Over 70% of career failure is due to an inability to get along with and relate to others, not the technical skills, as one may think. They are misunderstandings of how people think, feel, and act. In this workshop you will discover and understand different types of personalities according to DISC. By identifying personalities, we can live and work more effectively with others. Learning how to recognize individual drives can be enlightening so enjoy the process!

DISC is an acronym for:

Dominance

Influence

Steadiness

Conscientiousness

The DISC profile consists of a series of words where you choose the words most like you and the words least like you to get results in two areas, the first being “This is what is expected of me” and the second being “This is me.” DISC is available in several different versions for leaders, teams and wellness.

COACHING TOOLS


Emotional Intelligence: Logical intelligence will set leaders and team members up for one level of success in their job. But to move to higher levels of effectiveness you must also develop your emotional intelligence (EQ). When you combine both intelligences together, you will understand yourself better, get along better with colleagues and lead more powerful and successful organizations. In this session, you will learn how to identify and handle your emotions as well as gear them towards a positive outcome. You will learn how to respond proactively, communicate more effectively, build stronger relationships and inspire others to do the same.

The EQ survey helps to identify strengths and opportunities for growth in the following areas:

Self-awareness

Self-management

Social awareness

Relationship management

The profile consists of a series of questions in each category and takes about 15 minutes to complete.

Building a Functional Team Assessment: This assessment is a tool from the Five Dysfunctions of a Team and is geared to provide you with a sense of your team’s unique strengths and areas for improvement. For the most accurate and holistic analysis, we encourage your entire team to complete the Assessment. While the assessment itself provides an interesting perspective, it’s most important aspect is the discussion and training from the “Building a High Performing Team” series MSBCoach offers (page 53).

Authentic Leadership Profile and Assessment— Discover Your Authentic Leadership Style; Live for a higher purpose – this tool takes you through a series of questions to help you become more self-aware of where your values are and what is important to you. This assessment is very self-reflective and includes a profile to help you determine where you are in your Transparency, Ethics, Balanced Processing and Self Awareness.

I. Authentic leaders have a strong sense of Self-Awareness

II. Authentic leaders know their values and principles

III. Authentic leaders know and balance their intrinsic and extrinsic motivations

IV. Authentic leaders have a strong support team

V. Authentic leaders are grounded through integration

VI. Authentic leaders empower others to lead

COACHING TOOLS


COACHING TOOLS

Strength Based Leadership Assessments: The question leaders should ask themselves and their team members is, “Do you have the opportunity to do what you do best every day?” Chances are, the answer is “no”. Too often natural talents go untapped in the workplace and we devote way too much time to fixing our shortcomings rather than developing strengths. This survey was developed by Gallup to help leaders and their teams understand and value the strengths they bring to the table. When you combine the Strength Based Leadership and Team training with the survey, we are able to begin to create a Strength Based organization where people thrive in what they do and love to come to work. Through the assessment each per-son will learn their top five strengths.

Contingent Leadership Profile: Leadership requires different styles in different situations. The Contingent Leadership Profile tool helps leaders to process through work simulations that involve leaders, peers and direct reports. The individual taking the profile assumes they are they leader and answers the questions based on the situation and what they view as the best response. Once scored this allows the leader to have an understanding of their default leadership style. Through the training on Contingent Leadership leaders learn they need to be more aware of the person, the situation, the time and the place in order to engage in the most effective leadership style for the success of the person and the team.

MBTI: The key to successful leadership and strong teams is communication. The MBTI (Myers Briggs Type Indicator) is a tool that can be used to achieve effective and productive communication. People receive, process, and act upon information differently.
