"Leadership is often misinterpreted as power. In reality Leadership is about vision, serventhood, integrity, and character. Putting ourselves second and others first. A leader is, above all, a servant. People buy into the Leader before they buy into the leaders vision."

[Cody Zippmann @Zippmann19]

The BATON of a Leader.
B - brave
A - adaptable
T - together
O - optimistic
N - nobody else but us,
no other time but now
Others may moan about the culture of a place. Leaders carrying the BATON accept they are the culture, so nobody else but us and no other time but now.

"We're going to get the job done. We need to keep it going. We are primed for a great start. We want to compete at a high level. We want to be successful. We are a strong Team. We need to be ready. It's never 'I', always 'we'. Together we're greater than one"

[Cody Zippmann @Zippmann19]

"We stayed composed throughout trials & tribulations. We just kept battling day after day. If we keep working that way, we are going to be successful in many different areas. We created a solid Team culture. We need to continue to work hard. We're all fired up.

The best care more. In a world where most don’t care those who care stand out and perform better. They put more time and energy into their product, design, service, and/or craft. Joe DiMaggio said there’s always some kid seeing me for the first time. I owe him my best!

The best transform negativity. They don't allow negativity to sabotage their team and mission. One person can’t make a team but one person can break a team. Great leaders and teams feed the positive and weed the negative.

The best overcome the curse of experience. Don’t expect a bad outcome because it happened before. Don't long for the good ole days. Work hard, believe anything is possible and create the good ole days right now. They innovate, adapt and turn challenges into growth opportunities.

The best build great relationships and teams. No once creates success alone. We all need a team to accomplish something great. The best leaders and teams utilize the 4 Cs. They communicate, connect, commit and care.

The best overcome their fear of failure. Everyone has fear but the best overcome it. They don’t allow it to control, limit or paralyze them from taking action. The greatest success strategy is to focus on the love of what you are doing instead of fearing the outcome.

The best are mentally stronger. Through adversity their belief is greater their circumstance. Research shows that optimists work harder, get paid more and are more likely to succeed in business & sports. Because they believe it, they take the actions necessary to create it.

The best do ordinary things better than everyone else. Success is all about the fundamentals. Vince Lombardi once held a 4-day coaching clinic and spent 2 full days on one play: the power sweep. Opponents knew it was coming but still couldn't stop it.

[Cody Zippmann @Zippmann19]

The best build a great culture. Culture drives expectations and beliefs. Expectation and beliefs drive behaviors. Behaviors drive habits. Habits create the future. If you want the fruit you must invest in the root. Culture is the root. Culture creates sustained success.

[Cody Zippmann @Zippmann19]

The best know what they want. They have clarity that drives their actions. When you are on a mission with a vision you won't give up when faced with challenges. It’s essential that everyone in the organization is clear on the vision and mission and knows how they can contribute.

It's hard to remember, because we hear mostly from the loudest, most extreme margins of society, but, like, 80 percent of people just want quiet, simple lives with a decent salary and good schools and maybe an hour in front of the TV at night with a nice bowl of ice cream.
