Defining Leadership
-(Encourage audience participation)

-(Seek different definitions to help the audience learn from each other)
-Name one great leader…what made them great?

> Your experiences

Leadership Philosophy
-Write out your leadership philosophy
-Start by listing nuggets of leadership based on your experiences, experiences of others (from books, movies or people you know), and be sure to include the things that are important to you.
-Be sure to communicate your leadership philosophy to your followers. They should know what is important to you and what you expect of them.
-This should be a living document that evolves as you gain experience, grow and develop as a leader.
-Develop a short leadership motto to summarize your leadership philosophy
-For example, Coach Dean Smith’s leadership motto was “work hard, work smart, work together”
1.) Do the right thing, even when no one is watching
2.) Nothing worthwhile comes easy
3.) Bloom where you’re planted
4.) People want to know you care before they care
what you know
5.) Make things happen, don’t let them happen
6.) Get mad & get over it
7.) Set standards high, enforce them & live by them
8.) Set short/long term goals—written & visible
9.) Keep a balanced life
10.) Have a vision & communicate it
- My Leadership Motto:
> Integrity first, service before self & excellence
in all we do
Sunshine’s Leadership Nuggets
-Here are a list of my 10 leadership nuggets, in no particular order
-Integrity is key, it’s doing the right thing, even when no one is watching…and with today’s technology, it’s safer to assume that someone is always watching
-Bloom where you’re planted means do a good job at whatever job you’re given, your players should work hard at whatever position they are put in
-People want to know you care before they care what you know, show your players that you care about them as people, not just players on the team
-Make things happen, don’t let them happen…you are the architect your destiny and the destiny of your team
-Time spent in anger is time wasted so get over it!
-Set standards high, enforce those standards and live by them in all areas of your life
-Set short and long term goals to keep your team on track, make sure they are written and highly visible, put the team goals up in the locker room and hang individual goals in each player’s locker
-Keep a balance in your life and ensure your players do the same, talk to your players about their lives and their academics
-Have a vision and communicate it, don’t expect your team to read your mind and know where you want them to go…but make sure you’re leading your team in the right direction for a good cause
-My leadership motto is: integrity first, service before self and excellence in all we do
- Negativity is contagious, don’t let it spread
- If you want your team to be positive, you must have a positive attitude
- Be real with your team, you can’t fake it
- Attitude reflects leadership (click for video)
> Bad attitudes often result from bad leadership
Attitude
-Negative attitudes are contagious, don’t let them spread
-If you want your team to be positive, you must have a positive attitude
-Don’t try to fake it, your team will sense insincerity immediately
-Attitude reflects leadership video from Remember The Titans

-Bad attitudes are often the result of bad leadership
-But there are many positive leaders as well, which will you choose to be?
-Positive leadership video

- Live by the standards you set
- Set the standards high, enforce them & your team will achieve them
- Harvey Coleman in his book Empowering Yourself says that success is:
> 10% Performance
> 30% Image
> 60% Exposure
Leading By Example
-Can you expect more of your players than you expect of yourself?
-If you show up late to practice but require your players to be on time, will they still respect you and your rules?
-A good coach must believe in and live by the standards of conduct he sets for his team
-If you set low standards, your team will only achieve low standards
-If you set the standards high and enforce those standards, your team will strive to meet your expectations and achieve great things
-Harvey Coleman in his book “Empowering yourself: The organizational game revealed” says that success is only 10% performance, 30% image and 60% exposure
-Name some leaders who did something to hurt their image? Sports figures, politicians, etc.
-Any successful leader must always guard against doing anything that could damage their credibility or degrade the discipline of their organization
- Integrity is doing the right thing even when no one is watching
- Moral, ethical & legal behavior
- Guard against anything that could damage your credibility or the discipline of your organization
- Don’t betray their trust
- Respect is difficult to regain
Integrity
-Integrity is doing the right thing, even when when no one is watching
-The behavior of a good leader should be moral, ethical and legal…on and off duty
-Guard against anything that could damage your credibility or the discipline of your organization
-Leaders are afforded a special, honorable duty…don’t betray the trust of your people
-Respect is not easy to regain, so don’t do anything to cause your followers to lose respect for you
-Tiger Woods is an example of what not to do and he has paid a price for his immoral actions
- How do you define success?
- Is winning part of your definition?
- If you team played their best but didn’t win,
were they successful?
- Coach Wooden’s definition of success: doing your best to become the best you are capable of becoming
Success
-How do you define success?
-Is winning included in your definition of success?
-Coach Dean Smith never included winning in his definition of success
-If your team played their best but didn’t win, were they successful?
-If your team didn’t play their best but still won, were they successful?
-Coach John Wooden definition of success a peace of mind, which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing that you made the effort to do your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming
- Losing is a learning opportunity
- Learn from it & improve
- Losing is a powerful motivator
- Don’t let it create doubt
- Don’t lose confidence
- Get over it & let it go
Failure
-Losing a game is not failure
-A good leader views failure as a learning opportunity
-Learn from loss and improve, individually and as a team
-Losing is a powerful motivator, most players don’t want to let down their team or their coach
-Don’t let losing create doubt in your team or cause players to lose confidence in themselves
-Don’t dwell on loss
-Learn from it, get over it and let it go.
- Three types
> Outcome goals
> Performance goals
> Process goals
- Setting goals alone doesn’t enhance performance or productivity
- Set goals for team & individuals
- Give feedback & follow up
Goals
-Goals can be divided into three distinct types
-Outcome goals focus on results like winning and losing
-Performance goals are concerned with individual performance
-Process goals are concerned with how athletes perform a certain skill and are primarily used during practice and training sessions
-Research has shown that merely setting goals does not enhance performance or productivity
-Goals combined with feedback produce better performance than goals or feedback alone.
- Specific & measurable
- Written & displayed
- Challenging, not easy
- Achievable, not impossible
- Short-term goals
> Motivate & give confidence
- Long-term goals
> Keep focus & provide direction
- Goals build team cohesion
Goal Guidelines
-Individual and team goals should be specific, measurable, written, displayed, challenging and achievable
-Short-term goals should focus on smaller or individual improvements
-Achieving short-term goals helps motivate people and enhances self-confidence
-Long-term goals should be outcome goals like winning a championship
-Long-term goals help keep focus and provide the team with a direction to work toward
- First step is setting goals
> All heading in the same direction
- Ensure roles & responsibilities are clearly defined & understood
- No finger-pointing or blame
- You win as a team & lose as a team
Teamwork
-The first step in teamwork is setting goals, the team must be united in purpose before they can work together toward a common goal
-Ensure that roles and responsibilities are clearly defined and understood by all players and staff
-Don’t allow finger pointing or blame
-You win as a team and lose as a team, an individual can’t win all by himself…nor can one person be single-handedly responsible for losing a game
- Allow the team to help develop team rules
> Creates buy-in
- Reward unselfishness, discipline for selfish acts
- Discipline the team, not individuals
> Creates loyalty between players
> Peer pressure motivates
Team-Building Techniques
-Allowing your team to help develop team rules will create buy in, when they feel like they were a part of creating the rules they will be more less likely to violate them
-Reward unselfishness among your players and discipline for selfish acts
-Discipline the team, not individuals, peer pressure is a powerful motivator…players don’t want to let their teammates down
- How do you motivate your people?
- All are not created equal
> Different backgrounds & upbringings
> Some are self-motivated
> Not one method works on everyone
- Know your people
- Pay attention to their response
Motivation
-How do you motivate your people?
-(Encourage audience participation)
-Not all people are the same
-People come from a variety of background and upbringings
-Some are self-motivated while others are not
-Public humiliation may work with some people and have the opposite effect on others
-Some people prefer a private discussion, others can be corrected publicly and not take offense to it
-The best way to figure out what works best for each person is to know you people
-Pay attention to how they respond when you give them a course-correction
-If they don’t respond well, you may need to try a different approach
