2. The Champion Within ArticlePower from Empowerment by Dr. Denis WaitleyA 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 for some time. In his career, Jackson has gone from coaching the record-setting champion Chicago Bulls to the present NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers. He 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 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. Nearly a decade into 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 are 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.” —Denis Waitley

Seeds of GreatnessSeeds of Discipline: Excellence is a HabitWe learn by observation, imitation and repetition. Habits begin as offhanded remarks, ideas and images. And then, layer upon layer, through practice, they grow from cobwebs into cables that shackle or strengthen our lives. Habits are like submarines. They run silent and deep. First we make our habits, then our habits make us. Habits are like comfortable beds. They are easy to get into, but difficult to get out of. Winning and losing are both learned habits. —Denis Waitley
4. The Winner's Edge Coaching TipsI consider myself blessed to have been friends with the late Charlie “Tremendous” Jones, a great man and an icon in the world of personal achievement. This issue’s coaching tips consist of some thoughtful nuggets from Charlie and, appropriately, end with a thought on being thankful. Enjoy! —Denis Waitley Thinking with Charlie “Tremendous” Jones • People who know the most, know they know so little, while people who know nothing want to take all day to tell you. • Self-improvement can be harmful if you are doing it to look better. If you live your life in helping others look better, you’ll be better without trying. • If you give to get something, you’re not really giving; you are trading. Giving is never to get, because you have it and are not aware of how much you have until you give. • Big people are always giving someone credit and taking blame; little people are always seeking credit and giving blame. • Don’t worry about having to make a right decision. Make it and then work to make it right. • An attitude of gratitude flavors everything you do. Learning to be thankful is the golden thread woven through every truly successful life.
