Leaders Find a Way for the Team to Win

Victorious leaders share one quality, the complete inability to accept defeat. The alternative to winning is totally unacceptable to them. So they figure out what must be done to achieve victory, then they go after with everything at their disposal.

Victory is possible as long as it has 3 components.

No.1: Unity of vision. Team succeeds only when the players have a unified vision no matter how much talent or potential there is.

No.2: Diversity of skills. It almost goes without saying that a team needs diversity of skills. Can you imagine that a football team of quarter-backs? In the same way organizations require diverse talent to succeed, each player taking his part.

No.3: A leader dedicated to victory and raising players to their potential. Unity of vision doesn’t happen spontaneously; the right players with proper diversity of talent don’t come together on their own. It takes a leader to make these things happen. It takes a leader to provide the motivation, empowerment and direction required to win.

Leaders who practice The Law of Victory believe that anything less than success is unacceptable. Because of that, they have no Plan B. That’s what keeps them fighting.

What is your level of expectation when it comes to succeeding for your organization? How dedicated are you to winning your game? Are you going to have the law of victory in your corner as you fight? Or when times get difficult, are you going to throw in the towel? Your answer to that question may determine whether you automatically are going to succeed or fail as a leader.
