Walk the Building! Whenever and Wherever I have ever Scouted when I walked in the football facility, I would say Hello to coaches, support staff, equipment managers, cafeteria workers, security people and even the janitors. If time permitted, I would stop in the Recruiting Sweat Shops of Student Interns, Graduate Assistants and Staff Members and hold impromptu Scouting Seminars. I wanted to make a connection to get to know them better. Find out about their interests and let them know me. I saw Mike Tomlin, Kevin Colbert and Mr. Dan Rooney do this daily in the Steeler Facility. Where in the morning, they greet the office workers. A simple, “Good Morning”, can go a long way to make people feel good. Bosses that do not do this are not leaders. Cultural is built from the bottom up. The bottom line is people who don’t interact, hide in their office or don’t eat with their co-workers, just do not care about others. Caring goes a long way when people see you and your good intentions! The Little, The Simple, Mean the Most, to People! Do the Walk!
