LESSONS FROM MARCH MADNESS AND PHIL JACKSON
|
A week ago today, the Duke University Blue Devils were crowned the NCAA champion. Of course, they have been celebrating for a week. What do you think Coach Mike Krzyzewski and his returning players are thinking about for next year? Are they thinking that they will easily repeat as champions? Will they rest on their recent great accomplishment?

EXERCISE
|
Each of you have achieved successes in the past: in your business, or in relationships, or in your organization. Is it easy to maintain that success? Is it easy to resurrect that success if the economy or something else has blurred your path? I invite you to recall that success and write down the two essentials things you must do to be a "repeat champion." Of course, I encourage you to share that with someone and of course, you can share that with me.

"Winning is a ephemeral. Yes, victory is sweet, but it does not necessarily make life any easier the next season or even the next day. After the cheering crowds disperse and the last bottle of champagne is emptied, you have to return to the battlefield and start all over again."

Author of Sacred Hoops and winning Chicago Bulls coach
