OWNER’S MINDSET BY CUPELA COACHING
Your Leading Executive Coach in India
Owner's Mindset
Everyone is exploring what we can learn from startups. How can we drive fresh innovation, become a more dexterous company?
If you speak to a startup, most will tell you they have the same challenges as you - finding great, exceptional talent. In most cases, the talent they do get is mediocre at best. This leaves you with one question, how do so many startups manage to succeed?
The answer is simple; At the root of successful startups is the Founder. It is he who drives the agenda! Founders bring energy, focus, clarity, speed, adaptability, open-mindedness, vitality, and customer devotion. This seemingly never-ending well of energy drives the successful startup more than anything else.
At Cupela Coaching we work to install this same “startup” commitment into your Executives, the willingness to drive innovation, to take on responsibility for the corporation as a whole and avoid a focus based on departmentalization, which is often the cause of slow progress in corporations.
