On Moving Without the Ball, Putting off Change, and Successful Goal Setting
Feb. 23 | The 3-Point Play
BASKETBALL TIP
A mistake is a common event in the game of basketball. It happens all the time.
Good shooters miss shots; good passers throw it out of bounds; good defenders get beaten backdoor.
Since it happens to everyone in every game, it hardly seems like cause for foot stomping or finger snapping or head holding. When it happens to you, you should be well prepared with a mistake response.
Try to call attention off yourself as soon as possible.
LEADERSHIP LESSON
“Growth is the leader’s fountain of youth. Growing, for great leaders, is like breathing. It’s not optional. It is not something you do in addition to your real job. It is at the core of your real job. Your capacity to GROW will determine your capacity to lead. If you get too busy with your job to grow, your influence and your leadership will stagnate and ultimately evaporate.”
– From the book Great Leaders Grow
LIFE PRINCIPLE
“Opportunity has a sly habit of slipping in by the back door, and often it comes disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat.”
– Napoleon Hill
