Phil Jackson's 5 Management & Motivation Secrets
1. KNOW WHEN TO STEP BACK AND LET PEOPLE FIND THEIR OWN SOLUTIONS.
--As a leader, you must know when not to act.
--Allow them to resolve a crisis and affirm their common goals
2. PUSH PEOPLE TO THINK FOR THEMSELVES AND DEVELOP SELF-CONFIDENCE.
--There are no textbook answers in basketball or life.
--Every game is a riddle that must be solved.
--Michael Jordan calls it "Think Power"--the ability to work collectively and harmoniously under pressure. People must think on their feet and for themselves.
3. ACCEPT SETBACKS AS STEPPING-STONES TO GREATER SUCCESS
--Don't dance away from reality but make it your teacher.
--Losing is a lens through which you can see yourself more clearly and experience the transient nature of life--the fact that all things change, grow, decay and regenerate.
4. WHEN THE POTENTIAL REWARD IS GREAT, DON'T BE AFRAID TO TAKE LIMITED RISKS
--Let individuals be themselves. The bottom line is whether they work hard and produce for the team.
5. CULTIVATE AWARENESS AS THE KEY INGREDIENT TO SUCCESS
--Talent alone cannot guarantee victory.
--Groups function best when everyone is in tune with what is happening around them, when each member strives to fit into the flow.
