Book Recommendation
The summer is often a time for coaches to evaluate the previous year, how they operated as a coach, and how they are going to grow as a coach, leader, and individual before the following season.
I like Mark Divine's latest book because he includes stories around his many failures and ultimate success in the business world and not just his experiences as a Navy Seal. He also provides some helpful exercises at the end of each chapter to help develop your self-awareness.
"No matter how smart and skilled you are, it is your stage of development and emotional awareness that will define your character as a leader. And your character will define how the team responds to you."
"Often when leaders screw up, they lose courage. They will identify themselves with their mistakes, bringing the entire team down as a result."
"Communicating with negative energy is a real downer for the team. You can't be the negative apple in the bunch. Negativity destroys motivation and performance. It also weakens you as an individual"
"The temporary pain of transformation is far better than the long-term pain of regret"
