VICTORY

Finding a way to win, I've always thought about what separates those leaders that achieve victory, and those who are defeated. As I ponder around I've come to conclude that victorious people have one thing in common, that's the unwillingness to accept defeat, and that they are no alternative than to win.

And as a result, they have to figure out what has to be done to achieve victory. The crisis seems to be the way that the best and the worst are brought out of us, because of the intense pressure of high stacks in which I think is true.

On a recollection that I read about world war 2 when Hitler was threatening to crush Europ and re-design it according to his view on how Europ should be tuned.

Against all the power of Hitler, all his armies stood a man determined to win, who is a matter and believer of victory. The British Prime Minister Winston Churchill inspired the British people to help him win the war.

Churchill was a courageous leader who understands that victory must be achieved at all costs, he refused to bottle under Hitler's threat. For years he stood alone countering the German inversion.

On the other hand, Hitler indicated that he wanted to make a deal with England, Churchill refused him, when the bomb started dropping on England, Bristish stood strong, as Churchill looked for a way to gain victory.

Churchill got the British people together when he gave his first speech in which he said. ' We've before many long months of struggle and of suffering, you may ask what's our policy I can say, it's to wage war by sea, land, and air with all our might and with all our strength that God can give us, to wage war against the monstrous tyranny, that is our policy.

You ask what's our aim, I can answer in one word, 'Victory". Victory in whatever long away, hard the road maybe. For without victory they're no survival.

When Churchill sort the aid of Franklin Roosevelt he was enlisting an ally who has practiced victory. The victory was the embodiment of Roosevelt's life. He found a way to win a political victory when he over Polo, and after his election, he became the American president responsible for pulling the country out of the great depression

And as the country slowly recovered from 1930 through Roosevelt leadership, and to the two leaders, victory was only the option. They never accepted anything less.

A quote I once read of who actor I have forgotten wrote, take a look at the present world it's not Hitler's world. Without Churchill and England, all of Europe would have fallen, and with Roosevelt in the united state, it might have never claimed its freedom.

So whether in business and in sports or in anything else I have always seen victory in a different component that can contribute to a team victory. And that's vision unification.

It doesn't matter the talent or potentials there in players don't win a championship when everyone is working on the same thing or working on different agenda, this true in any professional game or any setting, and in business.

Second is the diversification of skills and talents. Imagine if everyone in the house is doing something, or in business, everybody is a marketer or in sport, everybody is a quote back.

Every organization requires diverse talents to succeed. Thirdly is a leader dedicated to victory and raising talents to their potentials.

It's true that having a great team is essential, a sports coach once said, you've to have great players to win, I don't care who the coach is, you can win with a good athlete, but you can lose with them. The right players or people with talents don't come together on their own it takes a leader to make them happen, by providing motivation, empowerment, and direction to win.

One of the most inspiring success stories that read about is the story of southwest airline, which has been a great inspiration to me as I journey through life and business. Southwest airline is an admirable story of victory, which today southwest looks like a powerhouse that has everything going for them.

It wasn't like that. It was one of the airlines that survived the crash of the 911 and the tremendous work in the industry.

Given southwest position, we may think that it has always been that way, but it's not. It's a testament of victory that the company even exists today.

The airline began in 1967 by a small commuter in Texas, and a few of his friends, but it took them four years to get their first plane on the ground, and as soon as the company was incorporated, other competitors all tried to put them out of business, and they almost did.

From court battle, and one man more than others made the fight his personal own. When the start-up capital was gone and it seems that they're going to be defeated the board wanted to give up. However, one of the board said, let's go one more round with them.

I will continue to represent the company in court and I will postpone any legal fees, and pay any settlement of the court cost out of my own pocket.

Finally, when the case made his way all the way to Texas supreme court, they won, and at last, was able to put their plane in the air.

Once everything was in motion, southwest hired an experienced leader, and the best executives available, and as other airlines still trying to put them out of business in court and in the market place, southwest kept fighting.

when the airline had to sell of one four of his plane to survive his executive figured out away for the remaining planes to be on the ground no longer than 10minutes between flight, that way southwest could maintain routes and schedules.

Though Kelleher keeps fighting and helps keep southwest alive in 1978 after he helped put the companies flight freight in the air, he became the chairman of the company. In 1982 he was made the president/CEO, and later on, served as the executive chairman of the board, and his colleague continues to find ways for him and his company to win.

Southwest president Louis Brewery summed it up when he said, the warrior mentality to fight to survive is truly what created our culture.

what they have wasn't just a will to survive but a will to win. As I practice the law of victory I have come to conclude that anything less than success is unacceptable, and I have no plan B, so I have to keep fighting.

With my level of expectation when it comes to succeeding for myself and my company and my dedication to winning my game, I've decided that I will constantly wear the armor of victory when times get difficult. That's my decision, and pose that you.
