'They Call Me Coach: Foreword' By Barbara White

Those who show good leadership share qualities such as strong integrity, consideration of others, and the ability to lead by example. A good leader will know what’s wrong and what’s right. When leading others, they choose the option that is morally acceptable. A good leader has been taught what is right and wrong and doesn’t choose to do what’s wrong when leading others. A good leader thinks of others when making their decisions. They consider what will be best for the group when

Being a leader is an important position to fulfill because not everyone carries leadership qualities. In order to become a good leader, this person must obtain specific qualities which should come to them naturally. However every good leader still needs to work on their qualities to become an even greater leader which may require a long time of work. Being a good leader can be hard because not everyone is going to agree with the decisions being made. Every good leader should have certain qualities that will help them succeed in every situation. A good leader should qualities such as being passionate and motivated in everything they do, to have patience when working with others, and to be fearless.

So many Coaches have talent and dedication for what they do. I 'm proud to play for one that has a spectacular history of coaching. That coach is Dennis Lorio, who Graduated from LSU (Louisiana State University) with an economic degree and played baseball. “I love the intensity and the relationship in football” Coach Lorio explaining with a passionate expression. I can see it in his eyes that he is very dedicated and hardworking coach. As of now he is 62 years old and still willing to coach. “It’s not the same without coaching. The joy and the sorrow I feel during the season has been addicted to me. I’ve been in this game almost all my life and that is a very long time.”

It takes a lot to be a leader. It takes experience, communication, positivity, passion, and much more to be an effective leader. Communication, positivity, and passion are the three most important characteristics to me. I represent all three of these with great pride. I communicate effectively whether it be in the classroom, on

Having patience, self-discipline, optimistic, intelligence and confident are all good qualities a good leader should have. Leaders are encouraging to the team members and not negative toward them, that gives the players confidence so they can concentrate on what they need to improve. In addition they

With dedication, one can achieve greatness. When one practices enough, they will become good enough to excel past expectations. If one is persistent enough for the right amount of rime, one can reach the goal he has set for himself. The road to success may not always be easy, but that is where the men and the boys are separated.

An effective leader can create a working environment that satisfactorily supports the staff members so he or she can productively perform in his or hers’ assignments. The top three characteristics of an effective leader are the ability to communicate well, fairness to everyone on the team and are knowledgeable in his or hers’ field of practice. An effective leader must be able to communicate well with others to maintain and promote open communication among the team. When leaders deal with employee conflict, an effective leader is fair. These leaders motivate their nursing staff to work toward a greater good in creating a positive change (Dunham & Klafehn, 1990). An effective leader should be knowledgeable about his or her leadership role as well as those he or she is supervising.

One illustration of this is found in my twelve years of formal music training. Music taught me to practice until perfection, that no good thing comes without work, dedication, and sacrifice, to eschew complacency, and to always give my best. I remember practicing many long and frustrating hours. There finally came a point that I practiced because I wanted to, not because somebody was making me. I had learned the skill and reward of self-motivated diligence. This diligence has allowed me to achieve excellence at nearly everything I set my mind to, whether in music, academics, or employment. One example of achieving goals occurred when I wanted to enter medical school. I commuted over 1,000 miles per week for a year to complete my pre-medical training while maintaining a full-time job to support my family. I will bring this same discipline, perseverance, and excellence to

An effective leader is someone who is passionate about their goals and knows how to motivate, inspire, and influence others to come together and work as one to reach a common goal and conduct compelling and important changes. The realization of some kind of qualitative or quantitative result because of the actions and influences of an organizations leader is essentially how to evaluate their effectiveness. The characteristics of effectiveness, of course, depend on the goals of the leader and the organization. The fundamental characteristics of what makes an effective leader are mostly universal, however, the characteristics of leader effectiveness from one organization to another may have unique

Other characteristics includes such that making of a clear and influential decision, have full commitment to the assigned task, inspire other to fully involve in the given task, are respectful, consultative and are able to take their stand in difficulty situations. (p.282) Leaders should also have capability to take risks, step forward and show initiative when they are given certain responsibilities. The characteristics of a leader is am major factor resulting in ups or downs of sick leave rates in an organisation.

Coaching and leadership seem to be synonymous with each other, in that if you’re a high caliber coach you must be a great leader, how else would you have achieved your success. While coaching in the NCAA division 1 basketball the goal is to win national championships, while also being a mentor to your students. Bobby Knight is a great basketball legend at Indiana, with a past of outrageous unacceptable behavior to the fans and to players, while also having one of the best collegiate records of all time. Coach Krzyzewski was also a great coach, was mentored by coach

There are several behaviors that determine the effectiveness of leadership especially in business. A good leader will have the qualities of motivating, organizing, problem solving, listening, managing conflicts, informing, supporting, delegating, empowering, and implementing a plan of action.

A good leader needs to have many particular characteristics. Some of these are obvious, such as that they care about what you are doing and always puts you before themselves. Also another trait of a good leader is that they always keep promises they make. Some of the subtle attributes of a good leader are that they do not hide behind bad news. Moreover, they are easy people to talk to and they have a good if not excellent sense of humor.

Being a senior in high school, I am just discovering the secret to being a successful athlete; one cannot just show up to practice and expect a desired outcome. Dedication is the willingness and drive to go beyond one’s boundaries for one’s desires. Playing for a softball team that has 19 state championships and 27 consecutive regional titles, I have always been taught that dedication was the key. A lot of time has been put into practices to prepare for all the great titles the team and I have won. Practice, effort, and teamwork are the main reasons on why dedication is the real secret to success.

Confidence, communication and commitment are just three of many traits that a leader possesses. Having those traits may help you become a leader but continuous hard work and dedication makes you one. To continue to be a leader you must also be intelligent, courageous, and determined. Becoming a leader is difficult but continuing to be one is even more difficult.
