The Boss…nailed it again 🔥

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

Holy shit! Bruce Springsteen, with one of the most eloquent endorsements for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz you'll hear. The Boss also delivered one of the strongest repudiations of the loathsome piece of shit I've heard from anyone. Let's fucking go‼️🙌🌊🇺🇸

[Dan Compagnon @CompagnonDan]

Those who know, know…just ask anyone who has worked in an organization that stifles honest feedback through fear, intimidation, gaslighting or avoidance 🙄

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

What stops us from speaking truth to power is not a desire for harmony. It’s a climate of fear and futility.

When leaders fail to make it safe and worthwhile to be honest, we bite our tongues.

Weak leaders stifle dissent and leave themselves weaker. Strong leaders welcome dissent and make themselves stronger.

As an individual who worked in an organization where the leader valued loyalty, and then moved to an organization that values integrity, the difference is palpable each and every day.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Most leaders value loyalty. Great leaders put a higher premium on integrity.

Loyalty is allegiance to power. You're expected to show deference and follow orders.

Integrity is allegiance to principles. You're expected to challenge orders that violate your mission or values.

[Matt Lisle @CoachLisle]

My favorite 82 seconds of TV the last couple of years.

Listen. Learn.
Be Curious. Not Judgmental.

A brilliant statement, and something our society should pay very close attention to as we navigate these unprecedented times.

"Man can turn into an animal in no time. All he needs is permission. As soon as permission is given from higher-ups, from the government, it accelerates," says Holocaust survivor Irene Weiss. https://t.co/mvVA5DG32W

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Jay Wright said, “The greatest characteristic you can have as a human being is a great attitude. It’s a choice you have every day.”

You can always control your attitude.
• Look for the positive.
• Look to improve.
• Be resilient.

We need more of this in our world…

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Keeping an open mind is not about lacking moral conviction. It’s about maintaining intellectual humility.

The people who leave their echo chambers are the ones who know their knowledge is incomplete.

A key to lifelong learning is engaging with others who disagree with you.

Now that’s leadership…good on Pasta

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Insecure people always need to be heard. They aim to prove their knowledge and feel important. They seek status by getting attention.

Secure people are happy to listen. They want to improve their knowledge and make others feel important. They earn respect by giving attention.

Coach Wright 👇

Jay Wright said, "We have a saying that everyone’s role is different, but everyone’s status is the same. It’s a reminder that no matter how bright the spotlight gets, we are all part of something much larger than ourselves."

Great teams emphasize the team.

They know that the strength of the team is everyone.
• It means creating a culture of trust.
• It means creating a culture of respect.
• It means creating a culture of collaboration.

The 7 Characteristics that Great Teams Possess:
1. Great teams commit to each other - People are dedicated to the team's goals and vision. They don't just talk about what they are going to do, they work hard and will themselves together as a team. It means sacrifice and putting ego aside.

2. Great teams have trust - They feel confident in each other's abilities and intentions. They are reliable and consistent in their approach while being transparent. They've created an environment for taking risks together.

3. Great teams are adaptable - There will always be challenges and great teams know how to adjust when new obstacles arise. They have a resilient and solution-oriented mindset to each challenge that comes their way. They demonstrate flexibility, resilience, and perseverance every day.

4. Great teams have strong leadership - Great teams have multiple leaders at all levels. These leaders guide, inspire, and support the team through each day. They set the standard of how you perform and set a clear direction, fostering a positive team culture.

5. Great teams hold each other accountable - There is always a sense of ownership, responsibility, and candor. Great teams set the standard of how you perform and hold you to that standard. Everyone embraces it and rises to that standard of performance.

6. Great teams care about each other - There's a sense of camaraderie and care for everyone. Caring isn't just words, it's a core part of the culture where people want you to succeed, want you to develop, and fight for your future. This strengthens team bonds and collaboration.

7. Great teams have a shared vision - There is never a question in what your goals and what is your WHY. Everyone is aligned with the team's objectives and purpose. This helps your move in the same direction because it drives unified efforts towards common goals.

Great teams don't just look to meet expectations, they want to exceed them consistently.

When it comes to youth sports, This is the ONLY ROI
(Return on Investment) that really matters

Liked it so I am borrowing it

This is how it should be 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

“People always asked "Why do you pay so much money for your kid to do sports”? Well I have a confession to make; I don't pay for my kid to to do sports. Personally, I couldn't care less about what sport she does.
So, if I am not paying for sports what am I paying for?
- I pay for those moments when my kid becomes so tired she wants to quit but doesn’t.

- I pay for those days when my kid comes home from school and is “too tired" to go to her training but she goes anyway.

- I pay for my kid to learn to be disciplined, focused and dedicated.

- I pay for my kid to learn to take care of her body and learn how to correctly fuel her body for success.

- I pay for my kid to learn to work with others and to be a good team mate, gracious in defeat and humble in success.

- I pay for my kid to learn to deal with disappointment, when they don’t get that placing or title they'd hoped for, but still they go back week after week giving it their best shot.

- I pay for my kid to learn to make and accomplish goals.

- I pay for my kid to respect, not only themselves, but others, officials, judges and coaches.

- I pay for my kid to learn that it takes hours and hours, years and years of hard work and practice to create a champion and that success does not happen overnight.

- I pay for my kid to be proud of small achievements, and to work towards long term goals.

- I pay for the opportunity my child has and will have to make life-long friendships, create lifelong memories, to be as proud of her achievements as I am.

- I pay so that my child can be in the gym instead of in front of a screen...

- I pay for those rides home where we make precious memories talking about practice, both good and bad.

-I pay so that my child can learn the importance of time management and balancing what is important like school and keeping grades up

...I could go on but, to be short, I don't pay for sports; I pay for the opportunities that sports provides my kid with to develop attributes that will serve her well throughout her life and give her the opportunity to bless the lives of others. From what I have seen so far I think it is a great investment!”

What’s it like for a normal hack golfer to play Augusta National?

2 years ago I got the unbelievable honor of playing the home of the Masters with a member. I still pinch myself.

So what did I shoot?
