FIVE ELEMENTS OF A WINNING TEAM

Some believe Paul “Bear” Bryant to have been the greatest college football coach of all time. He used to say that members of a winning team needed five things: Tell every member what you expect. Give every member an opportunity to contribute. Let them know how they are doing. Give them guidance when they need it. Express appreciation for performance.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, and with each year, my appreciation for it deepens. I have so much for which to be thankful: I live in America. Most people in the world would choose to live here if they could. I have been presented with many opportunities. Some I have seized. Others I have squandered. Nevertheless, I’m grateful for all of them. I am more grateful that they keep coming for all who are open

A RECIPE FOR RESILIENCE IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY

EXPRESSING HEARTFELT GRATITUDE

Who have you thanked lately? Who has your heartfelt gratitude and you just haven’t said it? I read an article recently that said only 10% of those working in the United States thank someone daily.

A TRIBUTE TO PRINCE

“Whenever we get tied down to anything – a name, a body, a lifestyle – that’s the road to ruination.” – Prince I’m not a Prince fan. I missed that bus somehow, but I was impressed with the outpouring of tributes at his death in 2016. I started jotting down some of his quotes and texting them to my kids.

A CULTURE OF CONFIDENCE

Confidence is the last factor of the development model we have previously discussed. A good team or organization will create confident stakeholders. Teammates are confident when they feel connected and cared about. They will develop growing competencies through their participation in the enterprise and build trust, as we all conduct life with high character.  We are delighted to add new, talented people to our team. We need the new blood. But we’re also blessed with many folks who have been with us
