The point I’m making is that as a leader or coach you need to get to know the people in your care. And I use the word “care” intentionally because consciously or subconsciously many people are trusting you as the figurehead—your company, your school, your athletic department, the parents of the players, and the athletes you’ve made a part of your team.

I say “figurehead” because sometimes you are installed there and you haven’t really decided whether you are going to own that position and lead yet. The good news is you can make the decision to coach right now. It is not too late to start investing into the people in your care and being interested in how they do their job, their productivity, and how they are performing individually and within the team—and to help them do better, be better, and to get more out of themselves.

HAVE TO AND WANT TO

Let’s jump back to the descriptions I gave of what motivates a person. If you’ll notice, there are two distinct differences in those descriptions. The individual loves the sport and loves to compete. The individual wants to be there, wants to win and play. The individual needs a PE credit, or someone is making them try out. They have to be there to get that PE credit so they can graduate or have to at least try out or Mom and Dad won’t give them the GI Joe with the kung-fu grip.
