He did a podcast with Jon Gordon and here are some bullet points:
- There’s no limit to hard work.
- If you want to be a winner, you have to be willing to do the work. You can’t skip steps.
- Value the sacrifice. It helps you become and develop into the person you need to be.
- Be open and willing to learn.
- Never underestimate the power of relationships. Invest in others and have others invest in you.
- Your work ethic, enthusiasm and positivity can surpass almost anything.
- Be comfortable enough to have greatness around you. Hire the best people possible.
- To be a good coach you must learn to connect with people.
- Internal leadership is important for an organization to grow. The lost art of holding each other accountable.
- To create Buy-In you have to create Believe-In (value others opinions, don’t tell them everything to do, let them contribute).
- Take personal responsibility. Don’t try to always blame others. What is your role in it?
- Shout praise, whisper criticism.
- Don’t just tell people what they should do. Show them how.
- When someone makes a mistake, correct the behavior. Don’t berate the person.
- Command and Control is the old way. It’s now about Seek to Connect. To develop people, you have to be connected to them.
- Your credibility and competency contribute to buy-in. You people have to believe in you to buy-into what you’re saying.
- If you’re not learning from those you lead, you’re doing it wrong.
- The notoriety of a coach comes from the execution of the players.
- It’s never about you. It’s about your team, your employee, your child, or whomever you are responsible to lead.
