Nick Saban warned us.

Greatness isn't given or taken.

It's earned or lost by your mindset, actions, and systems.

Bill Belichick was asked:
"What are your main principles for success?"

He gave 4 rules. Simple. Clear.

These principles work in football, business, and life.

Here's what he said and why it matters:🧵

Nick Saban said, "My toughest job? Being a leader. Being a leader is about vision, about organization, about communication, about being focused on an organization's needs, and about anticipating problems."

Being a leader is tough.

It takes action and courage.

8 Nick Saban Principles on Being a Great Leader:
1. Great leaders stand up when adversity rises -
It's during tough times when leaders need to provide strength and guidance. True leaders stand, give support, and take ownership during tough times. This is when leaders are looked to lead because that is when you are most needed.

"Times of adversity are when leaders are needed most." - Nick Saban

2. Great leaders allow the team to take ownership - It isn't about what you can accomplish, but asking what can we accomplish together. Give people ownership and responsibility. Let people know that this is also their team, and they're responsible.

"Great leaders know how to follow." - Nick Saban

3. Great leaders embrace future leaders - Great leaders develop more leaders. They focus on nurturing talent, empowering others, and creating a culture of continuous learning. It means believing in people and their potential.

"I strongly believe that one of my responsibilities as head coach is to help those on my staff fulfill their potential and achieve their dreams." - Nick Saban

4. Great leaders lead the orchestra, but let them play - This is the art of letting go as a leader. You have to have faith and trust in your team. Empower them, love them, and care for them. You have to be smart, tough, and use good judgment. It should be easy to serve them and want to see them at their best.

"At home, as a parent, lead your children but allow them the room to grow." - Nick Saban

5. Great leaders make tough decisions - Great leaders don't try to please everyone. They know it isn't about popularity, but about responsibility. It means making tough choices and decisions. Leadership is being willing to do what is right for the team even if it doesn't make you liked.

"Make the tough decisions by doing what is best for your organization - but always be fair and honest with those involved." - Nick Saban

6. Great leaders accept responsibility - It always starts with you. When you accept responsibility, you set a standard for yourself. People notice when you honor your commitments and take ownership of your performance. This self-accountability sets a positive example for others and builds credibility.

"Whatever happens on your watch, take the fall. The worst thing a leader can do is pass the buck." - Nick Saban

7. Great leaders must insist on excellence - Everything you do should be done at the highest possible level. Your ability to be great and focus on working at the process will create results. Your commitment to excellence will set an example for everyone else and inspire others.

"If the leader doesn't demand it, then certainly everyone else won't expect it." - Nick Saban

8. Great leaders don't have all the answers, but they find them - People respond to a positive, constructive, and directed environment. It is easy to be negative, but hard to stay positive. Your ability to find answers during tough situations sets an example for others.

"The best leaders know they don't have all the answers, but they know where to find them." - Nick Saban

I think constantly about Nick Saban’s simple formula for success:

1. Clear vision
2. Clearly define roles
3. Disciplined every day
4. Fast accountability
5. Ignore the scoreboard
6. Build a team of high-achievers

“The pain of discipline or regret.”

An idea that I can't stop thinking about:

The Capability Gap

Alabama coach Nick Saban refers to the Capability Gap in this clip from a discussion with Holly Rowe:

"We oftentimes talk about what someone's potential is, but I think to put it in better terms...the Capability Gap is what you're capable of relative to what you're doing...if you understand the truth about that, you can actually take information that can help you close that gap."

The Capability Gap is a simple idea with powerful implications across all areas of your life.

It requires an understanding of:

1. Your full capability
2. Your current delivery

In my experience, I would argue that most people underestimate their full capability and overestimate their current delivery.

In other words, they think their Capability Gap is very small, when in reality it's much larger than they realize.

Having mentors, coaches, friends, and family members who help you see the truth about your full capability and keep you honest on your current level of delivery is everything.

This isn't about sports, this is about your life:

Do you have people in your life who help you think bigger about what you're capable of?

Do you have people in your life who tell you that your current delivery isn't good enough?

We all need those people in our lives.

We need people who push us to get uncomfortable, to think bigger, and to be better.

We need people who push us to be better partners, parents, friends, siblings, colleagues, community members, and leaders.

Find the people who tell you the two truths:

1. What you're truly capable of
2. What you're currently delivering on

Identify your Capability Gap and then work relentlessly to close it!

Nick Saban said, "There are 3 things we can't have: We can't have complacency, we can't have selfishness, and we can't lose our accountability."

Accountability means taking ownership.

It means holding everyone to the standard.

Accountability is not only what you do, but also what you don't do.

It's foundational to trust and building trust within yourself and your team.

Success doesn't happen without accountability.

6 Principles of Accountability:
1. Acceptance - It means acknowledging your responsibilities and taking ownership of your actions to move forward. Know what you want, believe in it, and make it a priority. Be clear and specific about your values, standards, and environment.

2. Clarity - It means defining the standard and the expectations you expect from yourself and others. This is essential for communication. When you have a clear standard, you have a roadmap to follow, and it makes accountability much easier.

3. Honesty - Be honest with yourself and others. Be truthful and transparent about your actions, decisions, and outcomes, even when they are challenging or unfavorable. Build trust and credibility by being honest with others (and yourself) when you don't meet the standard that was set.

4. Courage - Have the courage to admit mistakes, address problems, and take corrective actions. There will be times you fall short, but having courage means demonstrating a consistent commitment to accountability and growth. By being courageous, you build confidence in the process.

5. Leadership - People do what people see. Set the tone and be the example of change that you want to see. Leadership means leading others and leading yourself by embracing the standard. When leaders hold themselves accountable, it sets an example for others to follow.

6. Trust - Accountability thrives in an environment of trust. When you trust yourself, you know what to expect. When you trust others, you can expect them to stick to their word because you know their values, standards, and what they stand for. Communication is easier when you trust people.

"Failing to hold someone accountable is ultimately an act of selfishness." - Patrick Lencioni
