Episode 257-Mark Slabaugh on Building Teams by Listening with Lois Sonstegard,PHD

Welcome to Episode 257 of Building My Legacy. In this podcast we talk with Mark Slabaugh whose company, Slabaugh Coaching, specializes in coaching teams, particularly those in the nonprofit arena. Mark believes that, to accomplish what seems to be an insurmountable goal — such as a nonprofit that needs to raise $10 million — it takes a team, effective communication and a leader who can inspire that team to go forward. A student of teams, Mark is mindful of how leaders communicate as well as the importance of building trust. Ask your team questions, he advises, and then take the time to listen to what team members have to say. So if you want to know: – About the importance for leaders to invest in relationships – Why, for a leader, it’s not about being interesting as much as it is about being interested — in their team members and what they’re doing – How leaders need to be people-focused rather than task-focused – Why visionaries also need to look back and make sure everybody is coming with them – How effective communications — in which you eliminate the noise and have a crystal clear vision — can help your team stay focused About Mark Slabaugh Mark Slabaugh is a Certified Pinnacle Business Guide and executive coach. His company, Slabaugh Coaching, helps entrepreneurs and their leadership teams grow faster than they ever thought possible. Mark came out of the ministry where, as a pastor, he found himself constantly recruiting to build teams of volunteers to take on different initiatives. That background prepared him to help others leverage their skills for their teams, building on the five business pinnacles: people, purpose, playbook, performance and profits.
