"Life is not about how much you succeed.
It's about what happens when you fail.
As you go through life, things happen in life that you don't want to happen.
How do you deal with it?
Do you deal with it with class and integrity with courage and resilience?"
Nick Saban said, "If you want to make everyone happy, don’t be a leader; sell ice cream."
Great leaders don't try to please everyone.
They know it's about responsibility, not popularity.
7 Competencies Every Great Leader Has:
1. Build Relationships - It starts with caring and connecting. To be an effective leader, you need to build relationships with people so you can establish trust and foster collaboration. People won't follow or listen until they know you and what you stand for.
2. Create Accountability - Leaders set the standard and embody the standard. Accountability means taking ownership. Success doesn't happen without accountability. Creating accountability empowers you to ensure people take ownership of their actions. It creates good conflict because it promotes responsibility and drives performance for success.
3. Communicate Effectively - Effective leadership means effective communication. Communication means what you say, how you say it, and when you say it. Your ability to pair strong relationships with effective communication drives change. It means articulating a clear vision, inspiring, and motivating others. Everyone might not like what you say, but communication becomes the bridge between confusion and clarity.
4. Drive Change - Leadership is about how you drive and deal with change within a team. People don't like change, but you have to navigate it with resilience and adaptability. It means communication and action. How you communicate and behave will either inspire change or cause people to resist. It will signal how you help your team adapt and grow.
5. Develop People - Great leaders develop more leaders. They focus on nurturing talent, empowering others, and creating a culture of continuous learning. It means believing in people and their potential. You have to get people to believe in what their potential can be for them and sometimes that doesn't align with where they are today.
6. Think Critically - Leaders have to make the tough decisions. Accept that not every decision will be liked. It means having the emotional intelligence to understand the current environment and the people to make the best decisions for the team. It involves analyzing complex situations, making informed decisions, and solving problems. This helps you navigate challenges and drive strategic outcomes.
7. Inspire Others - True influence comes from authenticity, not authority. When people trust you, respect you, and see you doing the work, they easily follow. They follow your communication, your vision, and your example because you've created a sense of purpose and commitment. Great leaders connect because they know that to lead, you need to engage.
"A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way." - John Maxwell

KIRK HERBSTREIT ON PARENTING
"I'm cool with my kids failing... It's part of the process. Every day there is adversity... They have to learn how to deal with junk... It's okay to make a mistake. Get back up and let's keep going forward."

Too many of us are alive but we ain't living. Stop worrying about people, places, things & money & create a life for yourself that u can't wait to wake up daily & live. A career that ain't a job, a relationship that uplifts u & Self Love. You can do this. #CoachPrime
THE SABAN STANDARD
"Mediocre people don’t like high achievers, and high achievers don’t like mediocre people. So if everybody doesn’t buy into the same principles and values of the organization at the same high standard, you’re never going to be successful."
“Life is difficult. You have to overcome adversity if you’re going to have a chance to be successful in your life. There can be no great victories in your life unless you overcome adversity. You can’t be a great competitor unless you overcome adversity,” Nick Saban
"Kids don't realize it these days, but to struggle is a good thing.
It makes you into who you are.
Struggles meant I had to invest more and try harder."
Struggles in sports aren't setbacks; they're stepping stones to success.
