Attitude reflects leadership

“You have the worst attitude I’ve ever seen.” 

“Attitude reflect leadership, Captain.”

5 things Remember the Titans reminded me about leadership: 

1. Leadership is not about your title.
   
   Anyone on a team can be a leader.
   

2. Tough conversations early, easier life later.
   
   Setting standards - and sticking to them - makes life easier later.
   

3. No room for prima donnas in a strong, team culture.
   
   Individual performers that distract & demotivate actually destroy potential.
   

4. The bigger the obstacle, the sweeter the victory.
   
   Coasting into the finish line still gets a W, but we cherish the tough battles.
   

5. Diversity creates strength.
   
   We tend to hire people we relate to, but that’s a recipe for groupthink and status quo.
