On defensive dancing, leading with logic, and dropping the ball
BASKETBALL TIP
DANCE – A simple four-step routine that should be an every-time habit of all defenders when a shot goes up:
Hand up, yell “shot”
Turn around and block out
Move toward the basket
Fast break
The process could easily be put to music, and the rhythm should lead to consistent execution. Hand-block-seek-go. Hand-block-seek-go. Hand-block-seek-go.
LEADERSHIP LESSON
“Leaders rooted in the logic of multiplication believe:
1. Most people in organizations are underutilized.
2. All capability can be leveraged with the right kind of leadership.
3. Therefore, intelligence and capability can be multiplied without requiring a bigger investment.”
– Liz Wiseman
LIFE PRINCIPLE
“Work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. The other four balls—family, health, friends, integrity—are made of glass. If you drop one of these, it will be irrevocably scuffed, nicked, perhaps even shattered.”
– Gary Keller
