By definition By definition Leadership = by definition must have followers (team or individual) Leaders provide vision / create clarity / foster hope by telling people that they believe in them / and of course - deliver results (success excellence) Leadership is first knowing how to chart a course, to give others direction by having a vision of what can be (team working toward a common goal)
Transformational Leadership Transformational Leadership Sauer, P. (2017, April). Effective Leadership in Sports. thesportdigest.com. Retrieved from http://thesportdigest.com/2017/04/effective-leadership-in-sports In comparison to the transactional model, transformational leadership is more than just meeting immediate needs. It is all about identifying the follower s potential motivations and creating a common and shared objective. Transformational leadership underscores the importance of vision, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration in leadership. Style of leadership in which the leader identifies the needed change, creates a vision to guide the change through inspiration, and executes the change with the commitment of the members of the group.

How Do Leaders Earn Respect? How Do Leaders Earn Respect? By making sound decisions, admitting their mistakes and putting what is best for the team ahead of their personal agenda.

Team Culture Defined Team Culture Defined Team culture defined = the way things are done on the team it is the social architecture that nurtures the team psyche. A healthy team culture creates a climate for success Team culture is concerned with how rewards are given, who communicates with whom about what, practice procedures, game protocols, acceptable reactions toward winning and losing, dress codes, and so on (other examples from experiences?)
Components of team Culture Components of team Culture 1- Team tradition 2- Basic operating procedures 3 - Management information 4 - Nature of the sport 5 - Power, influence, status structure of team 6 - Leadership style of the coach
Leadership Leadership Theory Theory - - Resources Resources James Kouzes and Barry Posner, in their book The Leadership Challenge, present five basic practices of all exemplary leaders: Inspiring a shared vision Challenging the process Enabling others to act Modeling the way Encouraging the heart Kouzes and Posner conclude that leadership is not a mystical quality, but a pattern of behavior that anyone can use to create extraordinary results. However, when it comes to how the practice is put into action, a tremendous amount of variance is possible, based on the situation. The specifics of how these leadership practices are conveyed and what causes the variances by situation was explored by Dr. Paul Hersey from the Center for Leadership Studies. His research and current work emphasizes that leadership is situational and varies based on the readiness of the team and its members. *Outward bound outdoor adventure theory Coach K Leading with Heart Video (2:06 min) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Phny1h4AZ0Y
Situational Situational Leadership Leadership - - Styles Styles Dr. Hersey's main principle, Situational Leadership, breaks the leadership practice into three widely accepted leadership styles 1 - autocratic / commander / director / general *leader directs the team - controlling style - older military mindset 2 - Participative / democratic / cooperative / transformative *leader guides the team - dynamic experience in which you influence the team, and the team influences you. 3 - laissez-faire / submissive / abdicate / baby-sitter *leader makes as few decisions as possible - lacking accountability.

Team Readiness Team Readiness At a simplistic level, we can relate the readiness of the team to the various stages of team formation: forming, storming, norming and performing. When we combine the leadership styles and the team stages. A natural application of the Situational Leadership model can apply to the four stages of team development. Groups Teams naturally go through these stages = being aware of where the group or team is at allows you (the leader) to better understand enable or empower them in their development.

Definitions Definitions - - Winning Winning Winning = (defined for kids) 1 : to achieve victory in a contest 2 : to get especially by effort or fortune 3 : to gain in or as if in battle or contest *(won the championship) Successful = having the correct or desired result : ending in success Excellence = extremely high quality ***Merriam-Webster Dictionary
Success versus Excellence Success versus Excellence There are many people, particularly in sports, who think that success and excellence are the same thing. They are not the same thing. Excellence is something that is lasting and dependable and largely within a person's control. In contrast, success is perishable and is often outside our control. If you strive for excellence, you will probably be successful eventually. People who put excellence in the first place have the patience to end up with success. An additional burden for the victim of the success mentality is that he is threatened by the success of others and he resents real excellence. In contrast, the person that is fascinated by quality is excited when he sees it in others. Joe Paterno
