"There is always a pecking order." - Erik Spoelstra, Miami Heat Coach

Start at the bottom, find ways to serve. As author David Mamet said, "There's that annoying kid." After awhile when he proves useful, it becomes, "where's the kid?" 

• Clear the path. 
• Manage the details. 
• Do what others won't. 
• Become a presence. 
• Make yourself valuable. 

See what others don't. What strategies and actions are working? 

There's a saying on Wall Street, "Price makes news." In sports, it's earn signature wins. 

Figure it out. What will make you a difference maker? Play at a high level. "Put the ball down" or "keep the ball up." 

Lagniappe. Work on culture every day. 

"Leaders take teams to a place that goes beyond talent.

Leaders create culture.

Culture drives behavior.

Behavior produces results.

Your team will perform based on the culture that your leaders build."@TimothyKight pic.twitter.com/S9bKqjelzw

I'm not interested in trying to prove to my players that I'm a genius"
