Dan Sullivan and Steve Krein continue their discussion about the power of thinking tools and how they can help entrepreneurs achieve their goals. They explore the importance of tension, shortcuts, and tools in simplifying complex problems and generating new opportunities for yourself, your team, and your clients.
Highlights:
- Strategic Coach® began with The Strategy Circle®, the primordial entrepreneurial thinking tool.
- All Strategic Coach tools share the VOTA structure: Vision, Obstacles, Transformation, Action.
- By combining opposing thoughts, entrepreneurs can generate new ideas and surprising insights.
- Tools are shortcuts to help people do things faster and more efficiently.
- The best tools, Dan feels, are axiomatic, like the self-evident truths that Euclid established for geometry.
- All sales conversations around Strategic Coach begin with a conversation about the prospect’s D.O.S.® (Dangers, Opportunities, Strengths).
- Dan discusses his latest book, which is about the unique culture within the Strategic Coach team, and uses the process of this book’s creation as an example of that teamwork.
- The speed and decisiveness of entrepreneurs require coaching and tools that can keep up with their fast-paced thinking and decision making.
- Individuals coming to entrepreneurship from a scientific or academic background may be shocked by the speed at which things happen in the business world.
