Practice the 6P's of Great Teams

My observations of great teams in both my business and professional sports careers have led me to believe that there are parallel practices common to both.  Here are the 6P’s of great teams.

  • Preparation: They prepare in advance and always expect to win.
  • Plans: They own and understand them. One-page plans are the best.
  • Practice – They constantly practice their craft and are involved in perpetual learning and self improvement.
  • Persistence – They don’t quit in the face of adversity or obstacles; they take great joy in dealing with challenge.
  • imPatient – They want it done yesterday and feel today is the best time to make things happen.
  • Party – They have lots of celebrations and recognition for achieving milestones; then they set more aggressive goals and move on to the next one.

McKibbin, Hunter Appointed as Sage Executive Group Co-coachs

Stacey McKibbin and Chuck Hunter, both experienced business management consultants, were recently named co-coachs to work with CEOs from mid-sized firms who are members of Sage Executive Group, a fast-growing peer advisory organization.
In their mentoring and training roles heading up the Ascent division of Sage Executive Group, they lead monthly meetings with a dozen business executives who share ideas, explore solutions and develop strategies to expand their companies.
McKibbin’s executive experience includes heading Multivariable Solutions, a Carlsbad business consulting company. She also was an adviser for McKibbin Enterprises in San Diego helping companies build profits and more effective management structures.
Hunter’s leadership positions include serving as CEO at Multivariable Solutions, which he founded in 2009, and holding senior/C-level positions at multiple companies, including Lockheed Martin, where he navigated mergers and acquisitions, and at CamelBak, where he helped develop the startup outdoor equipment maker into a global company. 
As Sage coachs, McKibbin and Hunter lend their guidance and knowledge to interactive discussions in which chief executive officers and other business leaders in companies with revenues up to $4 million annually foster a better understanding of their challenges, both professional and personal. A separate division offers groups for CEOs leading companies with higher revenue levels.
 Sage Executive Group was established in 2012 in San Diego and operates peer advisory groups for CEOs, presidents, and partners, as well as for C-level executives in finance, operations and sales. The Sage process has been developed by leaders who have over 45 years of collective experience with CEO peer advisory groups. As a result, Sage knows what it takes to create an effective and value-driven member experience.
