“$330 million to help Afghanis grow crops. Crops (wink, wink). I wonder what those crops are. What’s their biggest crop, Brett? It's OPIUM!”

One of the greatest attributes of a great leader, albeit one of the most difficult things to do, is the ability to overcome others inability to see their vision & to pull them along until they do!!!

5 Commitments of Great Teams!

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Phil Jackson said, "The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team."

Patrick Lencioni said, "Teamwork is not a virtue, but rather a choice."

You choose to be a great teammate.

You choose it through actions, interactions, and decisions whether you want to be the ideal team player.

Great team players can be developed.

They develop it like any other skill through hard work, consistency, and improvement.

The 3 Principles of Being an Ideal Team Player (according to Patrick Lencioni):
1. Humble - Humility is a cornerstone of effective teamwork. A humble team player doesn’t think less of themselves, but rather thinks of themselves less.
• It means learning from others.
• It means being open to feedback.
• It means admitting you don't know.

Jay Wright said, "If you're not humble, it's hard to be coached. If you can't be coached, it's hard to get better."

2. Hungry - It means having a strong work ethic, a growth-mindset, and an unrelenting desire to achieve more.
• It’s the mindset of excellence.
• It's the mindset of giving to the team.
• It's being self-motivated and driven.

A hungry team player is always looking for ways to contribute, improve, and excel. They're self-motivated and driven by a genuine passion for their work and the team's mission.

3. Smart - Being smart isn’t about just being intelligent on topics, but also about being emotionally intelligent. It's being aware of how one’s actions impact others.
• It takes strong interpersonal skills.
• It means understanding team dynamics.
• It means resolving team conflicts.

Team players know the importance of effective communication and building relationships.

The importance of all three - The goal is to work with team members to develop all three attributes because when you are lacking one, you can undermine the effectiveness and cohesion of the entire team. For example, a team member who is hungry and smart, but lacks humility may come off as arrogant.

"Great team players lack excessive ego or concerns about status." - Patrick Lencioni

MATT CAMPBELL ON THE PROCESS

"Toughness, discipline, and detail still matter...

Your platform is that it’s TEAM ABOVE SELF...

You guys that have grinded it out, have stuck it out, have believed it out, fell in love with the process and the process is now loving you back.”
