On Jazz, 3 Good Questions, and Commitment
Mar. 10 | The 3-Point Play
BASKETBALL TIP
Jazz doesn’t have a script.
It’s not “do this every time.” It’s read & react.
It’s not predetermined. It’s free-flowing.
It’s not formulaic. It’s creative.
So get creative, play free, and react to what the defense gives you.
Because basketball is jazz.
LEADERSHIP LESSON
Good leaders ask thoughtful questions.
Here are three good ones to ask a leader you admire:
- In the last five years, what new belief, behavior, or habit has most improved your life?
- What is the book or books you have given most as a gift and why? Or what are 1-3 books that have greatly influenced your life?
- What is one of the best of more worthwhile investments you have ever made? Could be money, time, energy, etc.
– Tim Ferris
LIFE PRINCIPLE
Commitment is doing what you said you would do, long after the mood you made it in has changed.
What’s an area of your life you need to re-commit to, even if the original mood you were in when you made the commitment has now changed?
