| ü | Train
by example. Work alongside your team members. |
| ü | Inspect
what you expect. There are too many coaches who are not inspecting
their players’ work. |
| ü | Catch
people doing something right! People want to be complimented rather
than criticized. |
| ü | Never
ask your players or anyone on your team to do anything you are
not willing to do yourself. |
| ü | Develop
a positive attitude every single minute of every single day.
Don’t
fire
your team members. Fire them up! |
| ü | Don’t
worry about who gets credit for getting the job done, just get
it done. (And
quit worrying about titles!) |
| ü | Build
Total Quality Management (TQM) teams by offering learning opportunities
for everyone. |
| ü | People
don’t care how much you know until they know how much you
care. |
| ü | Winning
is not everything, but making the effort to win is. – Vince
Lombardi |
| ü | Earn
respect from your team members, because you can’t demand
it. |
| ü | Set
realistic, attainable goals with your entire team and explain the
purpose of each goal. |
| ü | Be
prepared to change the play in the middle of the game. |
| ü | Celebrate
success because motivation starts at the top. If we did more celebrating
of success stories on our properties, we would have more to celebrate.
Let your team members know how good you feel about their progress. |
| ü | Laugh
out loud often…at yourself. |
“I firmly believe that any man’s finest hour, his greatest fulfillment to all he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a worthy cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle, victorious!”
