Your Leadership Has to Grow

As a leader you want your people to grow and get better every day and you should want the same for you. Every accomplishment that happens in your organization is because of what your people do on a daily basis, not so much what you do. Your people are the reason great accomplishments happen, it is the result of what your people do and produce. I have been very fortunate to have been apart of 5 state championship teams as a football and baseball coach and guess what? I didn't throw one pitch, catch one fly ball, make one interception, make one tackle or just in general make one play in any of those games. In business your people make the sale, produce the end product, and serve your customers. My job in a leadership position with those teams was to help my players grow and get better on a daily basis, both mentally and physically through our process. All of our coaches came up with great game plans etc. to help put our players in a position to help our team be successful but the players had to go out and execute the plan, they had to make the plays for us to be successful. Great leaders create "light bulb" moments for their people, they put them in positions where they have to go out of their comfort zone and accomplish things that they might not have had the strongest of confidence to do. Asa leader you need to create situations that put your people outside their comfort zone and then guide them through it. When the "light bulb" goes on you have a more confident person to get the job done. It is a very gratifying experience as a leader to watch your people get through tough times, to overcome something that was difficult for them to do. Every day as a business leader, teacher, coach, and government leader you have the opportunity to help and guide your people to great accomplishments, things that they might have thought were not possible. I would always try and make practice hard so games would be easy. As a leader your what is your purpose? What is your perspective? What is your passion? Your purpose is you seeing your people grow and expand their horizons, to take over for you some day. It is also caring for and empathizing with your people. Your perspective is to achieve the peace of mind that you did everything you could for your people to be successful, to stay positive through turbulent times. Your passion is to have it in your heart to watch your people hit it out of the park, it is about them not you. If you have your 3 P's you will come up with your process to have a successful outcome. Remember your P's
