Marshall Lucky No. 1 Share Posted December 14, 2021 (edited) All of us have dealt with managers, the lucky few have seen leaders. Some of you are leaders... The differences are the capability to have a compelling vision and the ability to bring others along in making that vision a reality. This requires the leader to have an understanding three things...: Purpose....why are we doing this, and why does it matter? Principles: The fundamental concepts and ideas that don’t change over time, They are not affected by circumstance. Practice: What we do, and when we do it.. And, with all that...what’s your vision? IMHO... Purpose Elevate and teach the skills and values required to succeed and advance in this world. We teach this first t in our student athletes, then our students, then our communities, then our nation. Tell me you haven’t taken life lessons from the Ducks. Principles: Hard Work-Duty over outcome....this is why WTD (Win the Day) was so meaningful. We don’t change how hard work regardless of criticism or praise..that is transitory. We work the same, hard. Next man Up: Everyone is invaluable, everyone is replaceable. Do what you can. It’s a game of inches....mind the details, don’t sweat the big stuff. These have been the same from Newt Rockney to Dan our Man. And finally: Practices for me.... the Boyd Cycle Observe your opponent Orient yourself to their point ov view Decide how to totally F’ their world up Do It, raw, fast and gnarly...repeat as fast as possible Practice through iteration....as fast as possible. Thoughts? Please, throw rocks and opinions... In he long run, these silly games matter.. Edited December 14, 2021 by Marshall Lucky Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall Lucky Author No. 3 Share Posted December 14, 2021 (edited) I geeked out when he said “Principles” and “Old School”, and then lost all objectivity. I’m Gen X, and a natural cynic.. So, we’re probably screwed. Edited December 14, 2021 by Marshall Lucky Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
