John Wooden on Winning and Team Building

PictureI had the amazing privilege of seeing John Wooden speak on Winning and Team building, I thought I’d pass along the short notes from my Life Journal to you -  

John Wooden Leadership Legacy: The Foundation for Competitive Greatness

Never try to be better than others, but never stop trying to be the best you can be. 

Success- peace of mind attained only through self-satisfaction knowing that you did your best. 

Coach Wooden’s pyramid of success includes: friendship, loyalty, cooperation, discipline, alert, ambition, intension, condition, skill, team spirit, poise, confidence, competitiveness, patience, faith

  • How do you define success?  How do you measure success of those that work with you?
  • Friendship, loyalty and cooperation are the basis of the pyramid.  How do you rate yourself at these basics?  What can you do to improve them?

  • The second tier is discipline, being alert, ambition and intension.  Would those that work with you agree that you have these characteristics?  What could you do to strengthen them?

  • The third tier includes conditioning, skill, and team spirit.  What are you doing to improve in these areas?  How are you building team spirit?

  • When a person has these in place they can possess poise, confidence and a people competitive nature.  How do you rate yourself in these attributes?  How can you build them in your team?

  • When all these are in place, at the top of your personal pyramid is patience and faith.  What are three things you can do to improve you focus in these areas?

Quantity and Consistency = Quality

 

Picture

Quantity and Consistency leads to Quality.  It is almost impossable to do anything with enough consistency and repetition that you don’t develop some amount of proficiency over the course of a few months.  However, Most of us fall guilty of not sticking with something long enough to see it through. 

I truly believe you don’t need to be good at everything, especially in prospecting.  Show me someone who does a little FSBO, a little expired, a little door knocking, a little updesk, a little of this and a little of that and I will show you someone who is getting out of the business in the next 6 months.  There are only a few productive prospecting avenues (vs marketing where the field is almost limitless).  Find ONE that works for your personality and do it with enough consistency and quantity and you will soon find yourself excelling and becoming the panel speaker for the subject.

 

Carpe diem,

Chris
