Put Your Signature On Your Career
No one exemplifies the concepts in this commentary better
than Antonio Stradivari, an Italian violin maker who lived
from 1644 to 1737. Stradivari died at the age of
ninety-three, at a time when the average life expectancy was
a little over thirty-five years. He taught himself his
trade. His tools were primitive, and he usually worked alone
until later in life, when his sons joined him. Stradivari
had a passion. He put the best of himself into every violin
and viola. When he was finished and was certain that his
craftsmanship measured up to his personal standards, he
signed his name on the instrument.
Nearly three hundred years later, his violins sell for
hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars, and
Stradivarius is a synonym for quality throughout the world.
But far from every man or woman with uncommon standards of
excellence become celebrities. At this very moment,
thousands or tens of thousands are working unknown and
unsung in industry, the arts and the sciences. The public
has never heard of them and probably never will; yet they
refuse to turn out shoddy work. They are in the minority,
but that’s where they’ve always been – playing for a gallery
of one, for their own inner applause. Remember, people who
consistently do things well set their own standards and make
themselves measure up. In so doing, they:
* Give the best of themselves to benefit
others, making their work a source of joy and satisfaction
while they experience deep self-respect from being uncommon
contributors.
* Build a kind of security that lasts a
lifetime or beyond, because respect for quality always
abides and will always command the highest price. If you
accept nothing but excellence from yourself and feel
entitled to put your name on your work, both will endure.
The bitterness of poor quality lingers on long after the
sweetness of low price.
Chase Your Passion, not Your Pension!

2. The Champion Within Weekly Article
Power from Empowerment by Dr. Denis Waitley
A good way to think of leadership is the
process of freeing your team members to do the best work they
possibly can. I have followed NBA basketball coach Phil Jackson’s
career.
Like Phil Jackson who moved from the record
setting Chicago Bulls to the Los Angeles Lakers. Jackson says his
principal task is creating an environment in which his players can
flourish. In communicating with his championship teams,
Jackson convinced them that they had the talent to win
championships, and that the main goal of the coach was going to be
freeing them to use that talent.
Today’s business team members, say they want,
more than anything else, the autonomy to do their jobs without the
boss’s interference. In the new century, it’s already clear that the
CEOs of our best-run companies believe that the more power leaders
have, the less they should use.
The job of the team leader is to set a mission,
decide upon a strategic direction, achieve the necessary
cooperation, delegate authority --- and then let people innovate. To
do that we all could take a hint from the late football coach, Paul
"Bear" Bryant. Before his retirement as one of the leading coaches
in college football history at Alabama, Bryant observed:
I’m just a plowhand from
Arkansas, but I’ve learned how to put and hold a team together. I’ve
learned how to lift some individuals up and how to calm others down,
until finally they’ve got one heartbeat together, as a team. To do
that, there’s just three things I’d ever have to say: If anything went wrong,
I did it. If it went semi-good, then we did it.If anything went real good,
then you did it! That’s really all it takes to get other people to win for you.
The key to authentic leadership is to listen to
your followers, and then open the door for them to lead themselves.
The secret is empowerment. The main incentive is genuine caring and
recognition.
The five most important words a leader can
speak are: "I am proud of you."
The four most important are: "What is your
opinion??
The three most important are: "If you please."
The two most important are: "Thank
You."
And the most important single word of all is:
"You!"
This week look to empower others!

3. Weekly Seeds of Greatness by Denis Waitley
(These quotes were taken from Denis Waitley's Excerpts
from The Seeds of Greatness Treasury booklet)
Seeds of Honesty: Integrity is 24/7
If you have real, internal value, you don’t need a loud,
expensive imitation.
It is not what you get that makes you successful, it is what
you are continuing to do with what you’ve got.
Identify with excellence, put your name on your work, and
both your work and name will stand the test of time.
It is not so much what the job gives you, it’s what you give
to the job.
Give your best effort, because you are worth your best
effort.
4. The Winner's Edge Coaching Tips
Welcome back! This week we cover our final rule of "Three
Rules For Turning Stress Into Success". Last week we covered
the second rule, "Change the Changeable". So let's move on
to our last rule:
Avoid the Unacceptable - Go out of your way to get out of
the way of potentially dangerous behaviors and environments.
When people tailgate you on the freeway, change lanes. If
they follow you at night, drive to a well-lighted public
place.
When there are loud, obnoxious people next to you at a
restaurant or club, change tables or locations. Also, be
cautious of personal relationships developed via the
Internet. With the massive number of individuals surfing the
net, the number of predators increases in like proportion.
Always be on the alert for potentially dangerous situations
involving your health, personal safety, financial
speculation and emotional relationships.
Action Idea: What is one unacceptable behavior you have or
allow others to do to you that you will avoid starting
tomorrow? Example: The way you drive, being around negative
people, walking down dark streets alone late at night, etc.
That's all for our "Three Rules for Turning Stress Into
Success". Keep applying these rules to everyday situations
and take control of your stress and convert it to your
success!
