NOVEMBER 2020
HAPPY NOVEMBER!
Hello ActionCOACH community!
There’s so much going on this month... elections, COVID-19, and less than 60 days until 2021. What more could we want???
I’ve heard more than one person say they cannot wait to turn the page on 2020. I would imagine most of us feel that way. At the same time, I wouldn’t be doing my job as a coach if I didn’t mention that November is the IDEAL time for forward-thinking business owners to begin thinking about the year ahead.
Since it IS NOVEMBER, that makes it a GREAT time for Business Owners to ask:
Sobering thoughts. But good questions.
If your answer to any of the questions above includes at least a moderate level of uncertainty, then take that as a sign that it’s time to really dig into your plan, identify potential obstacles, actionable solutions, and get “buy-in” from your team. I know I am biased in this regard, but make sure you get other people involved in your analysis and planning: team members, experienced and successful business peers, your CPA, or even your friendly, neighborhood business coach. I hope you have a great month!

COACHING TOPIC OF THE MONTH: LEADERSHIP
14 ACTIONABLE TIPS ON LEADERSHIP:
Every week I get the opportunity to help business owners become even better leaders.
There are plenty great books that have been written about leadership. I have read a number of them. In my opinion, most leadership books greatly over-complicate what leadership needs to look like in a small business.
Below are a few truths that I've learned leading teams of up to 800 and working with business owners in over 30 industries. Obviously, this isn’t EVERYTHING required to be a successful leader, but many of these items are highly “tactical” in matters of planning and discipline (which makes them doable). If you have questions on any of these, reach out to me. I'd love to discuss them with you!
If you'd like to have a follow up conversation on any of these items, just shoot a note to me at mikecooper@actioncoach.com or schedule a conversation at calendly.com/mikecooper-1.

Your #1 responsibility as a leader is to figure out (with input) what the company MOST needs to do in order to accomplish the most important goals for the next 12 months – and then determine the FEW tactical priorities that will need to be executed to ensure great progress is made over the next 90 days.
