On being off balance, rowing in the same direction, and doing hard things

They don’t want fadeaways; they don’t want to throw a pass when they are leaning backwards or the wrong way; they don’t like the feeling of lunging and getting off- balance on defense and having to recover.

Good players are constantly on balance—not because they have better balance, but because they don’t do things that throw them off-balance.

LEADERSHIP LESSON
“If you could get all the people in an organization rowing in the same direction, you could dominate any industry, in any market, against any competition, at any time.”

– Patrick Lencioni

LIFE PRINCIPLE
“Do it anyway. Part of the reason why you don’t have what you want in your life is because when you don’t feel like doing it, you don’t do it. Your life only gets easier when you do the hard things all the time. Push through your resignation and do it.”

– Mel Robbins
