I believe this is a quote by Casey Stengal, but someone correct me if I'm wrong
"The key to managing is to keep the guys who hate your guys away from the guys who haven't made up their mind yet."

I think there is this massive thought with boys especially if they cannot be number 1 right way there is no use trying. if they cannot win right way they do not want to be a part of working towards winning.
it is the same attitude among our 20 somethings who think they should roll into a job making 80 G a year for being in an entry level job that realistically pays half that.

No. I don't think it's overboard at all. Matter of fact I think being able to step back and assess one's self is something that we need more of in society today. It's simple math: Where am I Where do I want to go How can I get there What can I do Who can help me all important questions that students need to have answers to. But SHHHHHHH...don't go teaching life lessons in schools now a days - that might upset someone's self-esteem. Maybe if somebody came up with a standardized test for it... |

Great thread and great ideas. Will use in my class and with my team (if you are an AD, you need to use it with your coaching staff). The first person to use these ideas with is YOURSELF! As coaches and leaders, we need to have a strong sense of self before we even attempt to influence and lead others!

This is interesting, but I am in a place right now where I am focused on my coaching right now as I am leaving the "staff" I am currently on. Four years ago I started out as a multiplier, but working under poor leadership and with arrogant colleagues I soon became just an adder, and this last year I noticed that I started to become a divider. I did not feel good about that, because I was not showing respect for myself or the organization....knowing this, I resigned.
That being said, what does good leadership have to do to ensure this does not happen? I am not sure I could have arrived at this state unless otherwise dragged to it. One situation after another where I was illegitimized and unrecognized after another. If it happens again, I will do the exact same thing, I will resign, because it is not in my person to divide.

I think it's important to differentiate the spectrum of multipliers because I think to group them all into one is unfair to the kids who are giving everything they have to the program. You know...the x-factors of your program. Maybe these kids are the exponents, I don't know? But I do know we all have them, some programs undoubtedly have more than others. Regardless, these kids are a group all their own.

Man this is an interesting theory and topic. I too think it would be great to use with your team. Allow them to rank their teammates, and then use it in individual meetings. Hey this is what you peers as a whole think of you...What do you think about that? How can you improve upon that? How can you use that to improve our team? ect.. Good stuff. Thanks for sharing.
