Vision of What’s Possible
What specifically is your team’s long-term goal for this season?
Is it challenging enough to truly inspire you and your team? Why?
Vision of What’s Possible
How realistic is your goal given the time frame and people you have?
Vision of What’s Possible
“To be a leader, you have to make people want to follow you, and nobody wants to follow someone who doesn’t know where he’s going.”�
Joe Namath, �New York Jets
After determining an inspiring goal that is both challenging and realistic you then must decide how badly you want to get there.

Leaders Work Hard
HARD WORK IS THE NATURAL BY-PRODUCT OF COMMITMENT.
Leaders Work Hard
“THE SECOND I LET DOWN, PARTICULARLY IF I’M PERCEIVED AS THE LEADER OF MY TEAM OR MY COMPANY, I GIVE OTHERS AN OPENING TO LET DOWN AS WELL. WHY NOT? IF THE PERSON OUT FRONT TAKES A DAY OFF OR DOESN’T PLAY HARD, WHY SHOULD ANYONE ELSE?”
MICHAEL JORDAN, CHICAGO BULLS
Leaders Work Hard
“Work hard. Don’t be the last to arrive or the first to leave. Don’t skip sessions in the weight room. One good rule for a leader is not to expect anything from your teammates that you wouldn’t do yourself.”��Joe Montana, San Francisco 49ers

Leaders are Competitive - Instill Your Will
You will need to have a strong competitive will as a leader.
Losing is basically not an option for most leaders.
You must have a “refuse to lose” mentality.
Leaders take the attitude of, “Lead, follow, or get out of my way.”
Competitiveness- Instill Your Will
�“You can take the best team and the worst team and line them up and you would find very little physical difference. You would find an emotional difference. The winning team has a dedication. It will have a core group of veteran players who set the standards. They will not accept defeat.”��Merlin Olsen, Los Angeles Rams
Competitiveness- Instill Your Will
“A leader doesn’t have to be the best player on the team, but he has to care about winning.”��Jason Giambi, New York Yankees
