If you want something, you can’t wait around for something to happen. Force the issue. Get up, get out & Go Get It!
“The 🎣 don’t just jump in the boat” ~Tom Brady
If you want them you have to work to go catch them
Bill Belichick said, "There are no shortcuts to building a team, you build the foundation brick by brick."
Building a championship team is hard.
It doesn't happen overnight.
• It means sacrifice.
• It means commitment.
• It means accountability.
Your culture changes when you establish a standard of performance and commit to that standard.
It's in the details, actions, and attitudes that you start to change the culture. It lays the groundwork and foundation for your success to come.
Bill Belichick's 5 Principles for Team-Building:
1. Consistency and Dependability - “It's not all about talent. It's about dependability, consistency, and being able to improve.”
Belichick emphasizes consistency because consistency is what creates excellence and trust. It’s a representation of your character as a leader. People need to know that they can trust you and rely on you to perform their best.
2. Lead from the Front - “Mental Toughness is doing the right thing for the team when it's not the best thing for you.”
As a leader, you can’t please everyone. Great leaders know it isn’t about popularity, it’s about responsibility. It means making the tough decisions, taking ownership of yourself, and doing what is best for the team.
3. Preparation - "The only sign we have in the locker room is from ‘The Art of War.’ ‘Every battle is won before it is fought."
It means live the details, commit to practicing hard, and communicate what you expect. Great leaders bring a mindset of excellence and preparation to what they do. Your will to win always starts with your ability to prepare.
4. Continuous Improvement - “If you spend too much time feeling good about what you did in the past, you’re going to come up short next time.”
Complacency erodes your discipline and affects your attitude. As a leader, you need to embed a growth-mindset into the culture. People should be looking to improve and bring a mindset of excellence to everything that they do.
5. Focus on What Matters - "Ignore the noise" and "Do your job."
To perform your best, focus on what matters. Focus on what you can control, focus on giving your best, and eliminate distractions. To lead others, you need to be able to prioritize, focus yourself, and focus others.
“Ultimately, the team has to come first even though we all have individual goals and preferences.” - Bill Belichick
