In September this year, I attend a keynote speech from Pat Williams, Senior VP of Orlando Magic. His topic….Thirteen Qualities of Winners. Williams has had an amazing amount of leadership experience in the sports world at different levels within multiple franchise organizations. Perhaps his biggest venture was establishing the Orlando Magic NBA team, which is where he still is today. His keynote speech was awesome and I think it is quite relevant to living in your Strength Zone so I have summarized the 13 points below.
1. Winners have a dream and a vision. "If you can dream it you can do it." ~Walt Disney. Put your dreams into action!
2. Preparation leads to confidence. Winners are confident because they spend time preparing.
3. Winners are focused. Focus on the task at hand. "Make each day your masterpiece." ~ John Wooden
4. Be passionate about what you do. Be full of zeal and zest. Love what you do and have fun doing it.
5. Winners work hard.
6. Winners take responsibility. Ask yourself "What is the wisest thing to do based on past experience and where you want to go?"
7. Winners set specific goals - be self disciplined (short term, medium term and long term)
8. Persevere in all things.
9. Deal with adversity - learn from it. Learn from your sufferings.
10. Winners have a positive attitude (exercise your brain by reading 1 hour per day, attend classes, keynotes, lectures, webinars).
11. Winners pay attention to the little things (this avoids big issues). Be a top down leader and a bottom up leader.
12. Strive for perfection. Winners are not discouraged that they can never reach perfection but they still strive for it as the only other option is mediocrity which is unacceptable.
13. Winners welcome competition - it propels progress and innovation. Teamwork is the key to success.
You cannot be successful with any of these thirteen points unless you understand and are living in your Strength Zone!
