The Team Leadership Report

In the 1740s, Lord Chesterfield offered the following advice to his son: “There is time enough for everything in the course of the day, if you do but one thing at once, but there is not time enough in the year, if you will do two things at a time. Here are a few things that bear out Chesterfield my have been right: Numerous studies have shown the sometimes fatal danger of using phones and other electronic devices while driving. A 2005 British study found that workers distracted by email and phone calls suffer a fall in IQ more than twice that found in marijuana smokers. A Vanderbilt University found that task-switching leads to time lost as the brain determines which task to perform. An UCLA study found thru the use of brain scans that multitasking adversely affects learning. “Even if you learn while multitasking, that learning is less flexible so you cannot retrieve the information as easily,” it says. “People who have achieved great things often credit a finely honed ski

Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you.  Why fit in when you were born to stand out? You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And you are the guy who’ll decide where to go. Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not. A person’s a person, no matter how small. The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go. Everything stinks till it’s finished. Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple. I’ve heard there are troubles of more than one kind; some come from ahead, and some come from behind. But I’ve brought a big bat. I’m all ready, you see; now my troubles are going to have troubles with me! Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end o

Every wolf has his own voice. Every wolf respects the voice of every other wolf. There is not a more eerie, mournful, frightening or beautiful sound at night than the musical extravaganza of a howling wolf pack. Campers and hunters who have heard this chorus are filled with wonder but are also usually immobilized by fear. Because of the melody of voices, it often sounds like they are surrounded by scores of wolves. In truth, there are usually no more than five to eight wolves howling in a pack. The secret is that the wolves are always careful not to duplicate each other. Each wolf assumes a unique pitch, respecting the distinctiveness of the other members of the pack. While the notes may change, as in any beautiful song, one wolf will not copy the pitch of another. Interestingly, this respect for the individual only emphasizes the true unity of the group. They are one, but they are individuals, each contributing to the organization in their own unique way. Every wolf has his o

In communicating with the players on the court, I find it extremely helpful to precede constructive criticism with praise. I use what I like to call the ‘sandwich technique.’ First, I compliment an aspect of the player’s performance, then I slip in the constructive comment, and then I top it off with more praise. An example of this is, ‘Hey, Bill, great rebound! But you didn’t look up. And if you had, we had someone wide open who could have triggered the break. But you did a great job of protecting the ball, and that at least assured us of the possession.’ The two things people like to hear the most are the sound of their own name and a compliment — preferably together. So when talking to your players, if you call their name and pay them a compliment, you know you’re going to have their full attention. And that is communication as it’s best. —Adapted from Morgan Wootten’s Coaching Basketball Successfully Coaching Basketball Successfully - 3rd Edition
