What are the 3 leadership principles that top executives focus on?

Great leaders focus on people, coaching, and performance. In The Perfect Leadership Triad, Eric Turbiville teaches executives the importance of putting employees before the business, coaching employees to improve competencies and performance, and holding employees accountable to perform at a high level. Leaders who follow these principles increase employee engagement and retention.

Drawing on his own experience as a former Fortune 500 executive and a credentialed coach, combined with many examples from the business world, Turbiville provides the formula to excel as a business leader. He shows that the most effective executives are:

• People-focused
• Coaching-centered
• Performance-driven

Data confirms that happy, engaged employees result in happy customers. Turbiville writes, "When employees know you care about and respect them, they will buy into your vision and work harder for you."

Coaching employees is the most important thing a leader can do to heighten performance, increase revenue, and guarantee employee engagement. The act of coaching employees engenders trust between the leader and employee, resulting in a relationship that is transparent, candid, and productive.

If a leader cares about her people, she will hold them accountable for performance. Great leaders set clear, high expectations and focus on the process of accomplishing goals. When performance expectations are combined with effective coaching, employees and leaders will exceed expectations.

No leader, organization, or culture is perfect. What executives strive for is excellence! Excellence follows when leaders put people first, coach their employees, and expect high performance.

"There have been many books written on performance, some on effectively coaching employees, and a few on the value of employees," Turbiville writes. "I believe that this is the first book that combines the most important three principles of leadership into one simple, easy to understand model."
