How to lose trust with yourself & those you lead
• You don’t break trust when you don’t do what you said you were going to do..
• You break trust when you don’t do what you said you were going to do…. And you don’t own up to it. Or take responsibility for it.
• If you miss a meeting, trust is broken when you don’t own up to it the next time you’re with the team. Accountability.
• Your life bends in the direction of your strongest mental habits.
• People who cannot admit when they’re wrong are at the biggest competitive disadvantage in modern times.
A great example of coach Kyle Shanahan getting “Buy In” from Rookie at the time RG3 🎧
From The Playcallers mini series 👇
This is gold!
• Players only become great at that which they take pride in.
• Allowing Griffin the autonomy of creating “his” own play allowed the feeling of involvement, but also was insight into the pride Shanahan took in his craft.
• Tell me & I forgot, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.
Until next week
