Your Words Matter.

These Days its Easy to Tear Someone Down. Unhappy with Someone? Performance Lacking? Go Negative! The Whole World is doing it!! Force Them to Change!! I call B.S. to that!! This World is a Stressful Place. You never know what Someone could be going thru in their Personnel life. Leaders Who Tear People Down are not Leaders at all. They are Bullies and Cowards. Real Leaders Reach Down and Pull Someone up!! They get to Know the Team and Try to Move Down Field as a Team!
A Leader is a Servant. Someone Who isn't a Boss. A Leader is a Coach. A Mentor. A confidant and should be Your Biggest fan. Even when Your in a Loosing Year. If the Team is doing bad Who is Really to Blame? The Players? Nope. The Coach!! A Leader has to Turn the Camara around and Look back and see What the Team is Looking at. Words Matter. You can Inspire People!! You can Give Hope!! You can say, " I Believe in You!!" . Words have a Powerful Impact. Winston Churchill Inspired the Entire Free world to Defeat Evil in World War II. At the Time the Team was Getting Its Ass Kicked too I Might Add! Did Your Last Message to Your Team Rise to that Level? It Should have Strived too.
We are all Leaders. Of Our Homes. Our Churches. Even Our Coworkers. The World is Negative Enough. Try to Encourage People. Give a Positive Message of Being a Team. At no Point in History has it been more Important. Speak to Your Team the way You would want the Your Childs Coach to talk to Your Child. Nothing Bad will Come of it.
