So to use a sports analogy, I ask you to consider the mindset of 2-14 coaches Jim Caldwell of the Colts and Hue Jackson of the Raiders as they neared the end of the 2011 NFL season. Now compare that mentality to that of the 49er’s Jim Harbaugh or the Packer’s Mike McCarthy. Harbaugh and McCarthy were having great seasons.

Ask and keep track It’s a simple concept to respect others enough to ask them what they want and then to follow through and give it to them (within reason, of course). Ask them: What can I do to help you to be your best at work? What rewards motivate you? How can I contribute to your success? Keep track of the answers you get, by name.
