Scott Patchin has a passion for individuals and organizations in transition. His coaching and leadership development practice is focused on growth-related transitions for leaders and organizations. He has over two decades of experience in coaching, facilitating strategic planning, delivering leadership development programs, and working in and with high growth organizations.

His core value of Learning + Doing = Growth is at the center of all his writing, with a strong focus on actionable steps any reader can take to start increasing their capacity as a leader. Scott resides in Holland, Michigan, and is an active blogger, husband/father, and keynote speaker.

Over the past two years, Scott Patchin has spent over 50 days coaching leadership teams through strategic planning using a tool called the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS®). In that time, he has lived out his belief that smaller organizations can create a classroom in their business, developing as leaders while they work.

In this second volume of the People-Centered Leadership series, Patchin answers the number one question he gets from leaders: how to effectively plan. Here he covers what strategic planning is, equips leaders with some terms so they can talk about it effectively with their teams, and gives them next steps to implement - regardless of whether they are a CEO or manager.
