Welcome to Darren Daily on demand, your most trusted resource to help you become better every day.

Here's your success mentor Darren Hardy.

Have you tried to coach your team, coach your vendors, coach your kids, and being

disappointed with their response actions and outcomes? Here's the deal. Most people don't like being coached. A coach is

usually critical, pointing out all the shortcomings and areas that you're not doing

an energetic and ambitious young leader, newly stepping into his role as a team manager with a software company,

Sam's eyes gleaned with determination to prove himself and revolutionize his team's performance.

Sam acts like a coach. Straight from the movies, clipboard in hand and everything,

constantly analyzing his team's every move, eager to identify errors and correct every mistake.

Sam's diverse and talented team initially responds with a mix of respect and apprehension.

There's Mia, a quiet but brilliant coder. Jack, a gregarious sales whiz,

Lena, a methodical and thoughtful designer,

and several others each with their unique flare.

In the beginning, Sam's intense approach seems promising.
