About Coach Greg Hess
Greg Hess possesses a unique blend of experiences that few can rival. His journey began as a collegiate basketball captain, training rigorously and leading with a strategic mindset that later defined his 14-year tenure as a successful head coach. His impressive 265-78 record echoes his ability to cultivate excellence through a shared vision—a skill that would become invaluable as he transitioned into business.
A significant milestone in Coach Hess’s life was his monumental solo bike journey from Jasper, Alberta, to Thousand Oaks, California, in 1990. This 2,300-mile trek was more than just a physical challenge; it was a crucible for growth, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of goals. These values became pillars in his coaching philosophy and later fueled his leadership style in the business world. Holding an MBA and having managed Magic Johnson’s basketball camps, Greg seamlessly bridged the gap between sports and business, guiding organizations towards peak performance.
Hess’s battle with pancreatic cancer further attests to his resilience and determination. Surviving such a formidable foe, he found renewed purpose and founded a leading business coaching firm under the brand “Coach Hess.” His firm specializes in performance management and leadership development, empowering others to unlock their potential and thrive.
The Essence of His Chapter: A Coach’s Perspective
In “Cracking the Success Code,” Coach Greg Hess shares his invaluable lessons in a chapter titled “The Power of a Common Goal: From the Court to the Boardroom.” Here, he articulates a central theme: that success across fields—whether athletic or corporate—stems from an aligned team working towards a common purpose. For Hess, leadership isn’t about skilled individuals striving for personal success; it’s about rallying a team to unite for a cause greater than themselves.
He recalls his time as a head basketball coach, emphasizing the transformative power of a shared vision. He illustrates this through the story of establishing a relentless defensive mindset—“Psycho D”—for his high school team. This commitment rallied every player to interlock their efforts for an overarching goal, showcasing how alignment can foster extraordinary results.
Transitioning to business, Coach Hess brings this philosophy to life with gripping anecdotes. One such story involves a growing insurance agency grappling with inefficiencies. Through strategic goal setting and accountability systems, the team embraced a shared mission, resulting in remarkable growth. Similarly, a survey company thrived by redefining department roles, setting clear quarterly goals, and celebrating collective achievements.
These stories vividly demonstrate the potent synergy that arises when individual contributions align with a collective goal. Achievements are magnified, creativity blossoms, and productivity soars when everyone is working towards the same end.
