Joe Williams: The Underappreciated Aspect of Championship Leaders
- Sometimes, the most simple definitions can be the most powerful.
- A championship leader is a cut above. It’s about standards, every single day, and so much more.
- Joe was not a born leader; he had stage fright when he first started.
- Communication is one of the most important and vital parts of being a leader.
- Continuing to work at skills that don’t come easily, and the payoff will be very much worth it.
- It takes a certain amount of throwing caution to the wind to make your leadership your own.
- There are multiple different definitions of leaders: there is no right or wrong, it’s just having the maturity to be able to step into any different style as needed.
- Managing and mastering the skill of communication is necessary for making a difference in the world as a leader.
- There is a lesson and a gift in EVERYTHING that happens to you.
- There are definitely lessons that can be learned by seizing the day.
- Most people only look at the downsides of tragedies, but it takes a real championship leader to, in addition to that, take it as a learning experience.
- Championship leaders own their nature, regardless of what has happened to them. They recognize their strengths and weaknesses, and they own them.
- Don’t be like anyone else, do what you do and own it.
- Acknowledge the influence of someone in your life that is well known and/or very successful, but don’t become a carbon copy. Own that, and own yourself.
