Super Bowl Lessons for Leaders

Bill Parcells, someone who knows a good bit about winning, commented on the two super bowl coaches this week. He knows both…I saw this on MSN the other day, Mike Lupica might have wrote it.

Parcells knows Belichick longer, admits he knows him much better than he knows Tom Coughlin. But he is pretty clear about
both of them:

“Like I said, different personalities, don’t try to make them out to be the same guy, they’re not. But as coaches they both do the four things that you’ve got to do to be great in this business, follow these four axioms:

“They know how to acquire players, they know how to develop the players they have, they know how to come up with a good design for those players and they both get them to play hard.” !!!!!!!!!!!!

I added the underline and the bold (and even the exclamation points). It applies to the business of football, as noted by Parcells, and it applies to the business of business. Recruiting, training, planning and strategy and motivation. These are the keys to success. How well do you do with these? (Want help??)
