Victory Through Teamwork & Leadership by Coach K
The Fulling team just finished a new video together during recent staff meetings, Victory Through Teamwork & Leadership by Mike Krzyzewski (Coach K). This was his talk at the recent EntreLeadership Summit.
The 3 A’s of Leadership:
A – Agility: Being flexible to make instant decisions to benefit you and your team.
A – Adaptability: Communication is key to empower others. Asking questions like “What do you think?” and “How do you feel?”
A - Accountability: He challenges everyone to look at each other in the eyes and tell the truth. He advocates for a team full of plural pronouns - “we” instead of “me”. He also talks about the benefit of looking your teammates in the eye and saying, “I believe in you.”
Coach K also talked about how the cultures that win are value based. Some values he talked about for their team include: integrity, respect, courage, selfless service, loyalty, duty, & trust. He grows his team by focusing on these in his recruiting. He also offered a great overview of what he looks for when he is recruiting?
1. Talent - the baseline for hiring
2. Could they fit our environment?
3. Character – how they interact with their parents (especially their mom), coach, teammates, etc.
