AKA: How to be AN AMAZING leader/coach :)
Williams devotes much of his success in building Primerica (which incidentally never grew another year after he retired!) to Praise and Recognition. He says focus on the strengths and performance of people and let everyone know of their success. Then rather than criticize, just don't praise.
He says never forget to recognize the support system - partners, spouses, etc ina person's life when recognizing them. He calls this the "Forgotten Power"...
He says Total Commitment is the first step to greatness.
If your dream is something great then you must rise above the half commitment and embrace the inconvenient. You must learn to risk wasted time and wasted money. He devote a whole chapter on remaining positive and reframes these "wasted "investments in a new light. Not every minute, dollar and effort will give you a return, so you are going to have to take a lot of risks and put forth a lot of effort not knowing what the outcome will be. But the guaranteed return is that you will always have a lesson learned. You must remain positive at all times to succeed.
Keep your expectations high because we all rise to the expectations set for us. Keeping your expectations high of yourself keep your performance up and keeping your expectations of your team high helps keep their performance up. The main reason people let expectations fall below what they can do is because the risk of failure is also low. Leaders must learn to take the risks necessary to win big.
Nobody will follow a leader who asks others to do what he won't do himself.
The biggest threat to any goal is lack of activity.
Focus on giving others your positive attitude your loyalty your commitment and your winning example no matter how much you achieve.
The only real way to fail is to quit!
