By Dave Bushy, PCC “This is going to be great!” “I’m so excited we decided to do it.” “It will be a game-changer.” “I just know that we really succeeded in what we are setting out to do.” Such are the words we often hear from team members and corporate executives when we embark on […]

By Dave Bushy, PCC As an Army officer, I technically out-ranked any enlisted man. That included the first sergeant, the ranking non-commissioned officer in any company. Technicalities aside, my WW II veteran father had taught me that the first sergeant was really the guy in charge. The opportunity, he said, was to learn from the first […]

By Dave Bushy, PCC “Assume capability not intent,” is part of a maxim used in intelligence. While somewhat more complex when employed in military operations, its shortened form can serve as an effective and simple reminder of how to approach those with whom we interact in the business world.

By Dave Bushy, PCC Have you ever wondered why some individual or team efforts or processes succeed spectacularly while others don’t? It’s an age-old dilemma for leaders to consider.

By Allison Iantosca, PCC Coaching holds a frame long enough for cumulative and meaningful change to happen. My husband had a birthday last week. Oddly, my age anxiety rises more on his birthday than on my own. Maybe because his comes six months before mine. Maybe because he is two and a half years older. […]

By Dave Bushy, PCC How can I coach my boss? A client asked me this question the other day. My response was open-ended: “How do you coach anyone?” After a few humorous asides from my client, including “Why do you always answer a question with another question?” we dug into the genesis of the query […]

By Dave Bushy, PCC We all experience change. Sometimes it is self-induced, like when we decide to move from where we live, embark on a new career or enter into a new relationship. And there are times that change is imposed on us by others. Reorganizations at a company come to mind, as well as […]
