Are you consistently winning?
Winning is hard. Not everyone can win all the time. By definition, in a competition there must be a winner and a loser. However, in life, you can work hard to win much more frequently. For me, I closed out my high school basketball coaching career with 23-straight winning seasons. So, in the #CJJblog this week I want to give you some tips on how you (and your team) can become winners.
- People. Do you have the right people in your organization? Here’s how you can work toward finding the right people:
- Study – In order to become good at something, you must be educated. This will also help you become an effective talent evaluator.
- Culture – You must have a culture of being caring and challenging to one another.
- Members – Along with talent evaluation, how do the people on your team perform as people? Are they good-spirited? Bad attitudes oftentimes mean bad teams.
- Leader. Are you growing as a leader? How are you developing yourself?
- Profession – What profession are you in? Study it.
- Leadership – Challenge yourself to study leadership and culture-building. What goes into it? Are you asking your team members the right questions? Have an inspired mindset to lead others.
- Relationships – Your individual relationships should be immaculate. Make sure to have regular one-on-one meetings with your team members to further tighten those crucial interpersonal relationships.
- Systems. What systems are you building out? What systems do you currently have in place? Make sure to have daily (routines), weekly (themes), quarterly (check-ins/reviews), and yearly (full assessments) systems that you can tweak over time.
- Complacency. Do you slack off after a win? Or are you fueled to work even harder? Never be satisfied with your past success and always have the What’s Important Now (WIN) mindset.
