For years, I was guilty of a being a poor leader. <\/span><\/p>\n

Fortunately, my friend, Matt Smith\u2014both my business partner at ETR and the CEO of RoyaltyExchange.com<\/a>\u2014taught me how to be a better leader.<\/span><\/p>\n

Matt showed me how to lead \u201ccool and calm conversations\u201d with team members that showed I care, coached them to better performance, made their success smoother, and grew the team to greater performance each and every week.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This process is used in one very important meeting\u2014the GS&R.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

(Last year Matt put together <\/span>a series of meeting videos for our ETR University members that cover some of the best approaches to GS&R<\/a><\/span>.<\/span> These leadership videos aren\u2019t just good for your business; they are also great for your family, as I\u2019ll explain below.)<\/span><\/p>\n

GS&R<\/a> stands for \u201cGoal, Set, & Review.\u201d While it\u2019s designed to help coach your team members to peak performance at work, you can also use it in any number of environments\u2014school, home, extra-curricular activities, non-profit organizations, community activities, and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how it works: The coach or manager guides each team member through the identification of his or her top three action items for the week, how to achieve them, how to overcome obstacles in the way, and how (or who) to ask for help so that they can say, \u201cmission accomplished!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Team members are not the only ones doing the work, however. As a leader\u2014both at home and in your business\u2014you need to bring your BEST self to every meeting, too.<\/span><\/p>\n

That means implementing the 5 Pillars of Success in your management duties:<\/span><\/p>\n

Pillar #1 \u2013 Better Planning and Preparation Than Ever Before<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

Whether you are making coaching calls, leading team member meetings, or planning sessions with your children, you must review last week\u2019s meeting notes so you are fully prepared. Do the work. Come prepared. Identify the obstacles in advance and plan solutions for each. Be clear on the measurable outcomes of the meeting, and the measurable outcomes of each member\u2019s weekly performance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pillar #2 \u2013 Professional Accountability\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

Be the boss. Leading a meeting is about more than just sitting at the head of the table\u2014it\u2019s about clearly setting the agenda, stating the parameters for each project, starting and finishing on time, and being decisive. <\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, you want to be open to feedback and suggestions, but it\u2019s up to you to set the tone.<\/span><\/p>\n

Above all, s<\/a><\/span>how up with confidence. <\/span>As you grow the people on your team, allow them to take more on their plates. Identify what they do BETTER than you, and let them flourish!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When it comes to leadership, always keep these keywords in mind:\u00a0c<\/span>ommunication, decisiveness, mastery of self, and leading from the front.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pillar #3 \u2013 Positive Social Support<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

Following each meeting, check in daily with your team members to make sure they are on track. Help them understand that you are in this together. Your mutual relationship is supportive, not adversarial. You\u2019re both on the same team, after all, and you\u2019re working together to help the company flourish.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pillar #4 \u2013 Meaningful Incentive<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

Team members don\u2019t work for you just for the money. We all want to be part of something bigger than ourselves. (That\u2019s why we join movements and become irrationally attached to sports teams.)<\/span><\/p>\n

You must dig deep and lean into conversations to find out what drives your team members. Identify their true motivations<\/a> and show them how a job well-done will reap benefits that truly matter to them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pillar #5 \u2013 The BIG Deadline<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

As you finish your GS&R meetings, clearly articulate the jobs to be done over the week ahead. Be sure you define clear deadlines\u2014alongside consequences for projects that are not completed on time. <\/span><\/p>\n

These hard-and-fast deadlines are important for three reasons: they get your team members going at the start; they keep them going when the going gets tough; and they make them move faster as the deadline approaches.<\/span><\/p>\n

#<\/p>\n

With these 5 Pillars in place, you can grow your team, your family, and your coaching clients. You can help them achieve what seems impossible, one week at a time, spurred by one good conversation after another.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
