Build a great team. Close the last 10%.
I help owners and leaders close the gap between a good team and a great one, using simple, research-based systems that I have built, written about and use myself.
The difference-maker
You can give 90% and get a long way.
The difference between good and great rarely closes with another pep talk.
Most of the leaders I work with are already good. Their teams show up, hit most of their numbers and mostly get along. But there is a gap between good and great, and it never closes with a new slogan on the wall.
It closes with small systems repeated well: a 20-minute monthly one-on-one, a clear handoff, a review that actually helps someone grow. That is the last 10%, and it is what I spend my time on.
