Leadership Tip
Championship Coaching
While in Columbus yesterday
I attended an
Ohio State basketball game
where the 1960 team was honored for
their
50th anniversary championship.
Bobby Knight, a former team member
who went
on to coach Indiana and
other schools, gave a talk to honor
Fred Taylor, the coach of the OSU team.
He said that when we see a great painting
we
know that there was a great painter behind it.
When we see a
beautiful building
we know that there was a talented architect
behind it.
Similarly, when we see a winning team,
there is a
great coach behind it.
The affection that this team felt
for
their coach was palpable.
As a coach, our role is to recruit top talent
and develop our team members
so they can perform at their best.
In addition, we want to foster their
leadership so they can grow
others.
Ideally we can leave a legacy of a
high performing
team who remembers
us fondly even after we are gone.
What are you doing to
create a great team as
the coach behind it or
the player on the court?
