The only thing better than blowing dust is really hot temperatures with blowing dust! We almost had a "powdered doughnut" competition at the pool. Everyone caked on suntan oil and then stood in the wind. Okay, just kidding! We did do 5x5 back squats yesterday and are fired up about the Filthy Fifty today! Pictured a Navy A6, and dust at night.
My blog faithful know that I love to quote John Wooden. My passion for basketball and leadership is very well represented by the Coach! Here is a quick quote and link to Coach Wooden's Pyramid of Success.
Does it take the same kind of leadership to run a business that it took to coach a basketball team?
I think that in any group activity—whether it be business, sports, or family—there has to be leadership or it won't be successful. You have to get people to work together, to acknowledge each other, to take an interest in them and in their world.
My players know that I was interested in them and their families and [wanted to know] if there were any problems. I worry that business leaders are more interested in material gain than they are in having the patience to build up a strong organization, and a strong organization starts with caring for their people.
