The 4 M’s – a quick quarterly review to build your confidence
This is a coaching process developed by the folks at Strategic Coach in Toronto and is one of my quarterly retreat activities, especially poignant at the start of a New Year.
At the end of this post I have included a form that you can download.
This is a very useful exercise for you AND your senior team members – I recommend you book some time to ask yourself the 4 questions and ask for the team member’s feedback on their own answers as well.
Let me share with you the questions and my own answers:

Hitting my sales target every month and exceeding target in 2 of the 3 months
