On Simplifying Your Game, Designing Greatness, and Assuming the Best
Feb. 09 | The 3-Point Play
BASKETBALL TIP
Good players make easy things look easy, and even a lot of hard things look easy.
Taking the ball upcourt on one defender is not hard, so don’t make it look hard with nine clever moves.
Learn to accomplish things simply.
Use one move. One burst of speed. One change of direction.
The habit will pay off in tough games.
LEADERSHIP LESSON
“Business as usual produces predictable results.
But if you want something fresh, something new…
That takes vision.
Greatness only happens by design.
And, while the vision-driven leader is committed to designing and pursuing a desirable future outcome for their organization, they recognize resistance is part of realizing their vision.
To become the most effective vision-driven leader, tenacity, integrity, and courage are essential.”
– Michael Hyatt
LIFE PRINCIPLE
“To assume the best about another is the trait that has created modern society. Those occasions when our trusting nature gets violated are tragic. But the alternative—to abandon trust as a defense against predation and deception—is worse.”
– Malcolm Gladwell
