When I think of the best leader I have been around I think of Dean Smith. He was my basketball coach at the University of North Carolina. I strived to be like him when I coached and often fell short. Nevertheless, I continue to try to lead like he led our teams in the early 1980s. He is a great model for any leader of any organization.
Here are some of the ingredients that I believe made Coach Smith special:
Competence
Emotional Intelligence
Vision
Strategic
Discipline
Communication
Senior staff
Accountability
Toughness
Integrity
Servant
Passion
Loyalty
Evolving
Motivating
Over the course of the next 15 blogs I will break down each ingredient.
