Bill Belichick said, "You earn your teammate's trust through your performance and your consistency every day."

"You have to show your team that you're committed. That's what a good teammate does."

Trust is earned, not given.

It means show up and be dependable.

The Energy and Body Language of Team Leaders is critical.

Body language is a walking billboard of your mental state.

It is contagious to others.

LEADERS: Know Thy Impact.

What can a great coach teach you about leadership?

NBA legend #BillWalton learned from the best - UCLA coach John Wooden

Walton shares lessons of leadership he learned from Wooden & others during his storied career, principles that transfer off the court too

RIP Bill Walton

Great players want accountability.

And accountable teams become championship teams.

There is no other way.

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

Nick Saban has always asked this question about Leadership...

"How many guys on the team need to be led?"

Coach Saban believed in the power of Collective Leadership with his teams.

1. Are most players on your team bought in?
2. Do most players on your team set a good example?

These players do not need someone to impact or influence them if they are already making these choices and leading by example.

This is the power of collective leadership.

Collective leadership is vital to successful teams.

I believe there are 7 types of Collective Leaders that all teams need:

1. The GAMER - When the game is on the line. Who does the team look to? Who wants the ball in their hand? It is the Game Leader. They don't "have" to lead in other ways, but it would be best if they did. This player is often the ultimate competitor on the team.

2. The WORKER - Winning Teams have Practice Leaders. They bring energy and focus to each practice. They ensure competitive and strong practices. They Lead by Example. You practice much more than you play.

3. The GATEKEEPER - This leader ensures the Team Culture is Maintained. They put out the fires. They keep the team accountable. Especially when the coach is not there. They are essential in WINNING Teams.

4. The COMMUNICATOR - It is a long season. There will be difficult days. Teams need the Communicator to get through these tough days. They often provide humor and can lighten the mood. They have high Emotional Intelligence. This is an Underappreciated Leader.

5. The CONNECTOR - These players are often your “glue” players. They keep the team connected on the court or field as well as in the locker room and in social settings.

6. The ENERGY GIVER - The Energy Giver brings Positive Energy Every Day! Their Energy is Contagious! This leader knows that nothing great can be accomplished without Enthusiasm. The Energy Leader brings positive energy each day. They feed the team!

7. The SERVER - Finally, the Server embodies Servant Leadership. They are all about the TEAM. They bring a WE-first mentality to all they do. Their focus on the TEAM creates a contagious WE>ME mentality throughout the team.

Collective Leadership WINS.

'If you wanna change, you have to change!' - Ange Postecoglou.

Sounds like an obvious truth, but it's a reminder that transforming a team/organization isn't just about one person (like a coach) joining the mix. Collective effort drives meaningful change! 🌟🔄 #ChangeForSuccess #TeamUnity

Positive leaders.....
-Small ego, big mission.
-We before me.
-A lot of love and accountability.
-A lot of grace and truth.
-Demanding but not demeaning.
-Loving but not enabling.
-Shout praise. Whisper criticism.
-High standards, low tolerance for excuses.

This JJ Watt speech after the Texans lost another game will forever be one of my favorites.
