Lessons from MENTOR LEADER by Tony Dungy (pt 1)

To become the best I can be for our #teamrevchange100 project, I am reading coaching books and wanted to share those here to help us all become better!
~~~~~~~~~~~Mentor Leader
Secrets of building people and teams that win consistently

1) Focus on Significance
-Mentor Leaders put people first
-Relationships are what matter

Ask your self how do others around me flourish because of my leadership?

How does my influence and involvement in their lives - in whatever setting me are in - have a positive and lasting impact on them?

Sometimes you reach the organizational goals you have set, sometimes not. eitehr way, if people's lives are better, you've lead.

BUILDING A LIFE OF SIGNIFICANCE MEANS BEING WILLING TO GET YOUR HANDS DIRTY.

Mentor leaders focus on creating a culture that lives on and defer immediate gratification to build structure and value into other's lives.

2) Its not about me.
Ask: How can I benefit others?

ASK YOURSELF:  Am I prepared for great success and not take any credit for it? If you do it right, you make it nearly impossible for other people to give you credit.

VISION, MISSION AND VALUES:
Vision - Motivate and generate enthusiasm.  A goal larger than the team..."what are we called to do"
Mission - Why do we exist?  That is our mission.
Values - What is important for us as a team and as people?

3)Mentor Leaders examine what makes them tick and dea with the past.  Some things to remember...

*Hurting people hurt people
*Unloving people are unloved
*Forgive and be free, offer the grace God gives us

THE MARKS OF A MENTOR LEADER:
Character-more important than vision
"in times of crisis people gravitate towards those with the highest character"

Trustworthy - capable, honest

Authentic - people know a fake when they see one

Stay engaged with those around them.

Loyalty - that you have your team's back!
