Orrin, just a line to thank you again for all the GREAT ARTICLE'S this week. I've enjoyed them all. Lou Holtz - Three Questions, what a great eye opener. Can I Trust You! Are You Committed To Excellence? Do You Care About Me? You asked for us to look at any great teams, then poor teams you have been assoiated with. And how did I answer to the three questions with both groups of teams? My answer. 50/50 Suceesful people or teams, I'm always looking for Nuggits ( CONNECTION ). Unsucessful people or teams, avoid the Trap. ( DISASSOCIATE ). Never hurts to understand why and what makes people or teams unsucessful. Like know where the quicksand is. Like Lou Holtz said, "I believe it is harder to change a losing culture than it is to maintain a winning culture." But just like you, I'm just one man. Stritching. Looking for that next foot hole, rock to hang on to. But if I fall. I know I have a safty line to stop me, so I can start over again. Building character to me, is just like the mountain. Anyone can walk over a hill, but it takes man/woman to climb a mountain. One day, will my family say, do you remember Dad walking over that hill or man, thats some awsome mountain Dads been climbing. What a TEAM thats helped Dad on his way. Two mile high club... ( Thanks to all the GREAT LEADERS in TEAM. ) GOD BLESS ALL... DAVE GBA
