Origins of Success
"Barns spoke of the dedication that he and his staff have put forth over the years. He's humbled by the achievement. And to think, he wasn't even sure if he was going to be head coach at Goodrich, he was an assistant for 10 years before landing the top position. "I never really thought about it at first (300 wins)" said Barns. "When I first started, I never really had aspirations to be the head coach."

Where do leaders come from?
The origins of leadership • Group development
process • Understanding your
organization • Defining clear roles
Handout: "Group Development"
The Flint Public Library’s lower level meeting room is the home of the Greater Flint Afro-American Sports Hall of Fame (GFAAHF), a collection of over 100 plaques honoring Flint athletes, celebrating its 27th year dedicated to its motto:
“To preserve, not compete.”
Preservation vs. Competition
• Is it possible to win if all you do is preserve the status quo?
• Is it possible to win if you compete against
your own teammates or others who support you? ("friendly competition")
• Do you believe that you can "lose the
battle" but "still win the war"?
* most important
Do your teammates and/or competition answer these questions the same way? *
You Need a Clear Vision
Mismatches:1.Role Conflict–Role Strain–Value Alienation–Exploitation
System Myths
The organization has a system set up to ensure
that the needs of the employees are being met. Therefore, the
needs of the employees are being met.
The staff needs that are not being fulfilled by the system
are likely to be met by support networks outside the office,
like their friends and families.
Myths
Wait... where is the easy answer?
Okay, we now know some mismatches and myths...
There is no Captain Answer!
So where is the step by step solution to these problems?
Issue Spotting
• Name an issue• Describe it in 3 sentences• Fold the paper in half
• Who does the issue effect?
• Did you write any names down?
• Are you thinking of a solution process or assembling a team?
Handout: "Issue Spotting"
Awareness is key
Easy to see pragmatic struggles like:• I'm going through a
divorce• I need to put food on the
table• My kids need new shoes• Putting our daughter
through college• Planning for retirement
More difficult to envision the psychological elements:• I don't want to be viewed
as a head case• If I don't get my work done,
my boss thinks I'm unmotivated
Outside the Box
...it's cliche for a reason!
CHAMPS
CHallengingAllMinds forPersonalSuccess The NCAA merged NCAA CHAMPS/LifeSkills and
Student-Athlete Development to become NCAA Student-Athlete Affairs (SAA). The original acronym includes "Athletes'" for "A"
Various Models to Achieve "CHAMPS"
Ask yourself:• Who or what is the target
subject or population?• What is the goal we are
trying to achieve?• What skills or methods will
we use to reach our target subject/population?
The types of models:• client-centered • consultee-centered• program-centered
administrative• consultee-centered
