These 4 tips that Great Coaches use to improve their programs will help Leaders to become better with their group. This is the middle four of 10 tips that will aid leaders whether you lead thousands or just a couple or you lead yourself. Like great coaches and leaders the tips are understandable and able to implement into your organization.

Tip 4- S-E-A- when bringing new ideas or personnel into your group the explanation should be SIMPLE so the role of the changes is easily understood. The change should make the operation and way to your targets more EFFICIENT so the change improves the path to what your program is striving to achieve. The final part of this tip is to make sure you can prove that the improvements are ACCOUNTABLE so they really do show that the new ideas and new people have improved the team. SEA makes us better.

Tip 5- Get Better Every Day- whether your group is coming off a championship or stuck in a losing streak, you must be striving to be better than you were yesterday. The ” if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” is not a good line if you are striving to reach your ceiling. While you’re satisfied where you are, your competition is changing to catch and pass where you were. GBE is a core of BDE.

Tip 6- Discipline leads to creativity and builds freedom- great leaders build discipline into every individual in the program they lead. Having consistency from everyone in effort, focus and understanding leads to creativity and freedom as the basics are taken care of because of the group’s overall discipline that runs throughout the organization. Discipline allows for creativity to be a factor as everyone is involved in doing what the team needs.

Tip 7 Find your own advisor/mentor/ truth teller- great coaches and leaders have someone in their inner circle that help them stay on track toward the target of their journey. These leaders have the confidence and belief in themselves to know that in order to improve themselves they need an advisor or consultant to be a pathfinder to stay on track toward the organization’s objective. To have a thinking partner to help as a GPS toward the leader’s and program’s goals makes a significant difference in achievement. This may seem like a shameless plug for BDE but having an advisor whose only goal is to keep a leader on track is the difference between success and not having success at the highest level. Have a thinking partner you can believe in and who believes in you!
