The leadership habit that builds legacies AND undeniable results

You didn’t get here by waiting for someone to show you the way. You got here because you pushed, built, led. But here’s the thing about leadership—there’s a moment when pushing harder stops working.

You don’t need another strategy. Another meeting. Another “alignment” session.
What you need is to unlock the next level of performance—not just for yourself, but for your team.

And that only happens when you stop managing people and start coaching them.

The leadership move that changes the game

Most leaders don’t coach until there’s a problem. A missed number. A lagging performer. A breakdown. That’s too late. You don’t wait to put gas in your car until you’re stranded on the highway. You fuel up before the tank runs dry.

That’s what great leaders do. They don’t coach to fix—
They coach to expand.

They don’t wait for performance to dip—
They unlock potential before it peaks.

This is the shift. The move that separates the good from the great. The managers from the legends.

Your 2025 COACHING PLAYBOOK

You don’t need hours.
You don’t need certifications.
You need intention.

Here’s how you start:

  • Stop asking “how’s it going?” – Instead, ask: “What’s the boldest thing you’ve tried this week?” Make them think bigger.

  • Find their superpower – Every person on your team has one. Have you named it? Have you told them? Watch what happens when you do.

  • Challenge their ceiling – Most people cap their own growth. Your job? Raise the roof. Ask: “What’s stopping you from doubling your impact?”

  • Make feedback uncomfortable – If it doesn’t stretch them, it won’t grow them. But feedback isn’t critique—it’s belief in action.

  • Coach before it’s needed – The best coaching happens when things are good. That’s how you turn great into unstoppable.

This isn’t about hand-holding. It’s about lighting a fire. Coaching is the most underrated leadership move because it isn’t loud, it isn’t flashy—but it’s what builds empires.

The ones who coach are the ones ("wons" get it?! :D) who win

Look at every leader you admire. The ones who don’t just hit numbers but build legacies. They’re the ones who invested in people before they had to.

So, let me ask you: Who on your team is waiting for you to see them, challenge them, bet on them?

Because this is the work. And the leaders who do it? They’re the ones whose teams never stop growing, performing, winning.

Make the move. Coach now. Before it’s too late.

My best, always,
Shar
