Leading With The Heart :: GCSE Business Management BTEC Essays

Leading With The Heart I. Preseason Ch. 1: Getting Organized Establish right away in the first meeting the only rule for the team: â€Å"Don’t do anything that’s detrimental to yourself. Because if it’s detrimental to you, it’ll be detrimental to our program...† (Krzyzewski, 2000, p.4). Don’t dwell on it, so it does not ruin the moment. Recruit individuals who want to be part of a team and who are cacheable. Use plural pronouns from the very first meeting on. Use the words â€Å"our† instead of â€Å"my,† â€Å"we† instead of â€Å"I,† and â€Å"us† instead of â€Å"me.† Leadership on a team is plural, not singular. Make sure you are not the only one speaking in meetings, especially the first one, to demonstrate the principal of â€Å"we’re all important† (Krzyzewski, 2000, p.7). Include players, assistants, trainers, and team managers.

Stress the honor in academics and all things. Rules The rule â€Å"don’t do anything detrimental to yourself† covers a wide variety of things. Establishing too many rules gets in the way of leadership. â€Å"Don’t be a team of ‘I got’chas† (Krzyzewski, 2000, p.10). Leadership is â€Å"ongoing, adjustable, flexible and dynamic,† and so it allows the leader to have discretion. No â€Å"hard and fast rule† gives the leader the flexibility in different situations and provides the â€Å"latitude to lead† (Krzyzewski, 2000, p.11). Support System â€Å"Set up a family support system for your team. It’s like getting a shot to keep away jealousy† (Krzyzewski, 2000, p.12). Distribute laminated cards to each individual with the phone numbers of staff and fellow players. Remind them to call somebody when they’re in harms way. A Handshake Deal Make handshake deals with players during the recruiting process, and tell them of the â€Å"fair but not equal† policy, which means be â€Å"fair† in everything that you do, but players
