Leaders Lead

"Your actions speak so loudly I cannot hear a word you say."

"People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did. But people will never forget how you made them feel." - Maya Angelou

Know team leaders by their actions, what they do and what they don't. 

1. Team leaders outwork others. They model excellence. It is said that NBA great John Stockton won every sprint. 

2. Team leaders are coachable. They know that "mentoring is the only shortcut to success.

3. Leaders set and follow the culture. 

4. Leaders bring positive energy and energize teammates. 

5. Leaders respect their coaches, officials, teammates, and the game. 

6. Leaders make leaders. Leaders earn followers. 

7. Leaders share credit. They are ambitious givers, not takers. 

8. Leaders perform in the classroom. They do the work. "How you do anything is how you do everything."

9. Leaders unite the team, knowing actions have consequences. 

10.Leaders never "bigfoot" teammates. Upperclassmen should practice inclusion throughout the team. Mistreatment or belittling any teammate is unacceptable. Everyone can lead through effort and by avoiding being a distraction.
