leadership<\/a>? A Championship, right? That championship could result in winning notoriety, respect, credibility and it could be lucrative. I doubt Vince Lombardi would pay anything less than 100% to maintain his Championship team. If he\u2019s going to spend 100%, then, Lombardi will have to come up with some criteria to assure himself of that Championship.<\/p>\nSo what would Vince Lombardi look for in building his championship business team? Sports Championships are the result of exhibiting certain characteristics towards a task of building one cohesive unit working together. There is very little variation between Championship Sports teams and Business teams. <\/p>\n
What kind of team characteristics were shared by Lombardi\u2019s teams?<\/p>\n
\t1.\tCommitment \u2013 is \u201ccan\u2019t\u201d or \u201ccannot\u201d in your vocabulary or do you say \u201clet\u2019s find a way?\u201d Or do you find excuses like \u201cI don\u2019t have time\u201d, \u201cI don\u2019t have the skills\u201d, \u201cI\u2019m never going to be the person who is up on stage sharing his success story\u201d?
\n\t2.\tDiscipline \u2013 do you stay the course? Are you ready to roll up your sleeves, dig your heels in and get to work?
\n\t3.\tExcellence \u2013 do you strive to be the best?
\n\t4.\tMental Toughness \u2013 do you crumble when you step outside your comfort zone? Do you allow negativity to creep in at the first sign of pain? Who promised easy anyway?
\n\t5.\tConsistency \u2013 are repetitions a part of forming good habits?
\n\t6.\tPassion \u2013 do you love what you do? Do you get excited doing what you do?
\n\t7.\tFaith \u2013 it\u2019s so easy to have faith in others, do you have faith in yourself?

\nLombardi quote about passion is \u201cThere\u2019s only one way to succeed in anything, and that is to give it everything. I do, and I demand that my players do.\u201d Being the motivator, Vince could empower us to commit, be disciplined, exude excellence all to avoid coming off the field. After all, we don\u2019t want to miss out on being a part of that Championship, losing out on notoriety, respect, credibility and in particular the 100% reward. <\/p>\n
100% is a very powerful concept. It means complete. There is no more. Ask yourself what 100% means to you? Is 100% your motivator? Are you ready to embrace all the characteristics which make up a championship team? Vince Lombardi used winning a championship as motivation with the promises of notoriety, respect, credibility and of course monetary reward. What made Vince the consummate leader was to balance the personal motivations of each of his players and knowing when to push beyond self imposed limits.<\/p>\n
What is your motivation to become a champion? Some people are only money driven while others are driven by the notoriety of success. Many people are happy with a balance of both with a splash of personal satisfaction. To be a champion, you need to reach beyond your comfort zone. Let me leave you with the following questions\u2026<\/p>\n
