The game of life is a lot like football. You have to
tackle your problems, block your fears, identify
opportunities, maximize efforts, and win.
"Football is a game played with arms, legs and
shoulders
but mostly from the neck up."
Knute Rockne
People respond to good leadership! Period! It is in
all aspects of our lives, not just business. A
parent is a leader in their home; a son or daughter
may be a leader of a sports team or writing club. A
group relies on the person in charge to actually
lead them to success.
Sports Do Not Build
Character...They Reveal It””
John Wooden
Of course, you can’t make all people around you
happy all the time. But you can learn to connect
with people more effectively and affectively.
Being a likeable leader involves building
credibility with others. It’s all about breaking
through barriers and reaching people with your
message.
In our society we have leaders and followers. Are we
born to one or the other? Perhaps in part, but you
can hone your leadership skills by learning and
practicing the top leadership must-haves listed
below.
Likeable leaders…
-
Connect effectively with others on an emotional
level.
-
Live with integrity and build credibility with
others by being genuine and living
authentically.
-
Motivate and empower others to work within their
strengths, gifts, and talents for the mutual
benefit of the individual and the organization.
-
Adapt to and move with change.
-
Live in freedom, not fear. They use
collaboration and positive re-enforcement, not
fear, to get the job done.
-
Think BIG! They don’t build ceilings, limits or
barriers; they open doors and windows.
-
Share their vision with excitement, and generate
passion for their plans in others.
-
Strive for excellence and encompass best
practices.
-
Focus on results and solutions, rather than the
problems and complainers.
-
Tackle the impossible. Complex problems require
creative solutions.
-
Model and encourage creativity.
-
Communicate effectively and express their values
in all that they do.
-
Set goals. When the goals are met they set new
goals.
-
Above all else, likeable leaders are fun!
Likeable doesn’t equal “nice.” Likeable leaders
don’t avoid confrontation for their own convenience,
and at the cost of others. They are bold and
assertive.
Likeable leaders delegate appropriately, not
according to seniority, but according to the skills
and attitudes needed for each task or project.
In the end, your opponent is not the offense or
defense. Your rival is not on the other side of the
field. Your adversary is not the other team. It’s
you. It’s your determination. It’s how good you can
get. It’s how much better you can get.
"The harder you work, the
harder it is to surrender."
Vince Lombardi
Be excellent in everything you do: football, life,
school, and relationships. Increase your people
skills and learn how to lead and live more
effectively. You can improve your own self- respect
and become an inspiration to others. How great is
that!
So, keep going. Keep learning. Keep practicing.
“It's not whether you get
knocked down,
it's whether you get up.”
Vince Lombardi
