Just because someone is very good at their job, or at understanding an industry, doesn’t mean they can deal very well with other people. Numerical Gurus provides coaching that focuses on:
- Knowledge workers and their unique needs
- Interpersonal friction and the role of empathy
- Trust in and respect for the members of the team
- The role of community and a personal “brain trust” to support managerial efforts
