17 Laws ofLeadership
(Staff Member, Coach, and Student Athlete)
#1 The Law Of Significance
One Is Too Small a Number To Achieve Greatness it takes The Team”
The Belief that one person can do something great is a myth.
- A Team involves more than one person.
- A Team Maximizes its potential and minimizes its weakness.
- A Team provides multiple perspectives.
- A Team Shares credit for victories and blame for its losses.
- A Team keeps its leaders accountable for the goal.
- A Team can simply do more than an individual.
“None of us is as smart as all of us” The Book High Five”
#2 The Law Of The Big Picture
The Goal Is More Important Than The Role”
- If you think you are the entire picture, you will never see the big picture.
- When you see the big picture correctly, you serve the team more quickly.
- Only when we all come together and give up our own agendas can we move up to a higher level.
- Sizing up the situation: people who live to build teams, seeing the size of the task ahead doesn’t worry them. They don’t shrink from the challenge-they savor the opportunity.
- The Law of The Big Picture: The vision or goal is more important than the individual.
If a team is to reach its potential, each person must be willing to subordinate his/her personal goals for the good of the group. Bud Wilkinson
#3 The Law Of The Niche
All People Have A Place Where They Add The Most Value”
When people aren’t where they do things well, things don’t turn out well. That’s the Law of The Niche
To help people reach their potential and maximize their effectiveness, stretch them out of their comfort zones, but never out of their gift zone.
1.The wrong person in the wrong place = Regression
2.The wrong person in the right place = Frustration
3.The right person in the wrong place = Confusion
4.The right person in the right place = Progression
5.The right people in the right places = Multiplication
