Commanding Business

The challenge with growth is that the habits that got you here become the limitations that prevent you from getting there. Growth not only requires us to learn new habits. It requires that we unlearn old ones. I’m Tim Hamilton, CEO of Praxent and host of the Commanding Business podcast. Each week, I interview authors, experts and real world leaders about how they grew their teams, their organizations and ultimately themselves. From leadership to management and marketing to innovation, we’ll cover a variety of topics with an aim to uncover actionable takeaways you can implement in your own organization today.

Hiring a business coach may seem expensive and time-consuming for your organization but an outsider's perspective may be exactly what your team needs. Leaders may be in need of self-awareness coaching and managers probably need to learn more effective communication skills. A coach will help to identify core values and translate those into a 3 to 5-year strategic plan. Leadership skills are often self-taught practices which could use a little polishing.
