Marcus Freeman shares why "leading by example" isn't enough.
"We don't love leaders by example. Because leaders by example are guys that do what they're told to do, they do everything they're asked, right?"
"But they don't say things when their teammates aren't reaching the standard. We can't have that."
Real leadership isn't just performing at the standard. It's protecting the standard.
"We need more leaders. Guys that are willing to hold their teammates accountable because it's gonna make your teammate better."
Accountability isn't about being hard on people. It's about caring enough to not let them settle.
"I wanna make everybody in our organization the best they possibly can be. So if I let you cut corners or I don't say something to you when you're falling under the standard, then I'm not helping push you to the best you can be."
Leading by example is the baseline.
Leading with accountability is the standard.

“When you start building a program and build your foundation in toughness, that’s not an easy thing to do. It’s one thing to say, it’s another to live it every single day. Toughness isn’t about fighting people. Toughness is a mental aspect to the way you approach every day,” Brent Key
Kirby Smart calls it a "DISEASE" that creeps into your program.
Dan Campbell won't tolerate it.
This mindset is the enemy of hard work. It's the delusion of expectation without earning it.
Here's how this mindset destroys teams and the 5 shifts that eliminate it:🧵
Success is the worst teacher there is.
You fail your way to success.
You have to get scarred up.
You have to go through it, so you can get where you want to go.
You learn through failure and being uncomfortable. That's where the real growth happens. @CoachVenables
