What makes a great leader?

Leadership is a great character trait to have. One of the greatest leaders and coaches of all time is John Wooden of UCLA. From 1949-75, he lead UCLA to a record 10 national championships and he was named national coach of the year six times. During his stay at UCLA he established a record of 620-147 (.808) in 27 seasons. He was inducted into the Naismith Hall of Fame in 1973.

Here is John Wooden’s pyramid of success. This is an excellent model for developing leadership.

John Wooden Pyramid of Success

Leadership is necessary in the workplace, in school, in your household and even in the gym. Leadership is what allows people to move forward when you are faced with adversity. Leadership brings positive change to a negative situation. Leadership creates teamwork and brings out the best in those around you. Leadership is telling people what they need to hear and making sure they leave feeling better about themselves.

Take a look at this pyramid of success and ask yourself…”How can I become a better leader?”
