Good leadership sets the foundation as it fuels endeavor and motivates. It is the stuff that gives direction, vision, purpose and meaning.
The best coaches have the ability to convince their charges of the worth of their task, mission or goal.
Players without a sense of purpose or belief are erratic, directionless and lack the drive to prepare, compete and rebound from disappointment.
Convincing others of the vision and direction to be taken is a crucial part of the task, and it is only by giving meaning and direction that the best results can be achieved.
With the formation of a leadership group a mission statement and set of values should be prepared to commence a new season. This will underpin the coaching effort and reinforce the value of setting these goals which will give purpose to a team.
'What is valued in war is victory, not prolonged operations, and the leader who understand how to employ his troops, is the minister of his peoples fate and arbiter of the nation’s destiny'.
