Part I:   Developing Leadership:

Seven Ways to Lead Your Team 

Do not leave leadership of your teams to chance; teach and empower your captains how to lead successfully. This presentation applies seven principles of leadership. 1) Be the first to serve, 2) Be the first to lead by example, 3) Be a lifeline of communication between the coach and the team, 4) Be the first to praise others, 5) Be the first to protect and defend your team (loyalty), 6)Be the first to confront violations of your team standards (solving problems before they impact your team), and 7) Be the first to encourage and the last to become discouraged (mental toughness).

Part II:   What do you stand for?

Establishing Core Covenants and Building Your Inner Circle This presentation is an in-depth look at the first things that must be done when building a team – Guiding Principles (establishing Core Covenants, an identity and vision with actions) and Pride (establishing an inner circle based upon shared joy).
