The heart of the leader is the heart of leadership.
For the OSU athletic teams who train with Chet and got them a dose of John Rue the other day – – – I was once a member of one of the most elite military units on the planet. And…as Special Forces teams go – – – we were elite among the elite. Here is what you must hear – – – and make happen – – – IF YOU TRULY WANT TO BE NUMBER ONE.
The heart of the leader is the heart of leadership.
Everyone wants to be #1. But there’s only one way.
ONEness.
You can’t win Championships with average ONEness.
You can’t build a Championship Culture without Championship Captains.
You can’t be a Championship Captain without a Championship CORE.
And you can’t have a Championship CORE without Communion.
The heart of the leader is the heart of leadership.
Culture. Captain. CORE. Communion. Four C’s. One alignment.
1111.
Culture is the fruit. It’s what everyone sees, hears, and feels when they walk in this locker room.
Captains are the roots. You don’t just talk culture – – – you BE it. You feed it. You protect it. You live it.
The CORE is the seed. It’s who you are when no one’s watching. Your habits. Your heart. Your truth.
And Communion…That’s the Source. That’s where the power comes from. It’s ONEness with God. It’s where your CORE gets oxygen. Without it, you run out. With it, you never will.
When Communion fuels your CORE…Your CORE strengthens the Captains…
Your Captains sustains the Culture…Then? Your Culture becomes unstoppable.
That’s Championship ONEness.
That’s 1111.
That’s what it means to wear the “C.”
BE IT.
The heart of the leader is the heart of leadership.
NUFF SAID.
I hope to see ALL of you soon.
Go Buckeyes!!!!!!
Together We Transform – – – always, ALWAYS TOGETHER.
PS And here is another two “C’s” for free. Who does everyone look to under times of chaos and crisis? You guessed it – – – the Captains.
Damn.
