The other night I saw a wonderful example of fair dinkum (real) leadership.
I watched an U/14 basketball team train and the coach, about 20 years of age, ran a 4v4 drill.
Although the players were tired from the demanding exercise they stilll gave it their best.
Here’s why.
The coach was;
- engaged
- in control
- enthusiastic
- positive
- focused
- knowledgeable
- confident
While watching the coach in action it took me back a few decades to when I was coaching basketball.
I learned early in my coaching career that to lead and inspire people to do their best you have to be fair dinkum.
So the next time you are leading a group of people, ask yourself the following question.
Am I fair dinkum?
