NO TITLE

Some people think that a specific position or title is required to be a leader. Some think that a leader has to be the smartest or most talented or oldest member of the team. None of these are actual requirements for leadership. If you want to be a leader, you need no title. Instead, you need to do the work, plus one.

SHED SWEEPER

If you're interested in rugby, then you've heard of the New Zealand All Blacks. They are three-time Rugby World Cup champions, and they've won 77% of the games that they've played. The All Blacks have been successful for many reasons, but what really sets them apart is their dedication to a simple mantra: Sweep the sheds.This means the team is committed to doing what needs to be done, no matter how small the task. No one is exempt from sweeping the sheds. To be a shed sweeper is to have the mindset that if you want to be great at the big things, then you have to be great at the small things, too.

ELITE ENCOURAGER

When someone gives up, it's usually not because they are incapable of continuing, but because they become discouraged. As Daniel Eckstein said, "Encouragement closes the gap between a person's potential and their self-imposed limitations." To be good teammates, we need to help our teammates close the gap. To do that, we've got to become elite encouragers.

TEAM FIRST

Striving to be first team means you want to be the best ON the team, while striving to be Team First means you want to be your best FOR the team. The best leaders are Team First, not first team. That's because being a great leader has nothing to do with your talent on the field and everything to do with your talent as a leader. People follow leaders they trust. To be a trustworthy leader, you've got to be team first.
