5. Terrible motivators actually insult themselves.
People are a picture of the leader. Therefore, when a leader insults his or her team, they are actually insulting themselves. ”I got a bunch of mama’s boys right now.”
6. Terrible motivators do not inspire or lift up their teams.
“I’m tired of coaching a guy who rolls his eyes or puts his head down or feels sorry for himself. I’m tired of that.”
7. Terrible motivators exaggerate or lie.
“I swear I thought one time I heard one of our players say, ‘Merry Christmas.’”
8. Terrible motivators blame others for their own shortcomings.
“We’ve done that (push-ups and treadmills). We just need to be more consistent with it.”
9. Terrible motivators dehumanize their teams by comparing them to animals.
“When you got a young team, it’s a lot like training a puppy dog … Bad dog. Get on the treadmill.”
10. Terrible motivators simply do not value people.
“We had a guy snipered at half court. Two guys snipered at half court. It was unbelievable.”
People are the only asset a church, team or organization has that appreciates. Everything else depreciates. People are to be valued.
Jesus thought enough of people to die for them. That is good enough for me.
