The Man Who Cut Michael Jordan

Have you ever heard the story of Michael Jordan getting cut from his high school basketball team? Well, there is definitely more to the story. When I think of getting cut, I think of not playing at all… instead, Jordan didn’t make the varsity team but made the JV team. I am going to share some insights from the Sports Illustrated article, “Did This Man Really Cut MICHAEL JORDAN?” by Thomas Lake.

JV Was Not an Oversight

“The decision to leave Jordan on JV as a sophomore was not an oversight. His coach, Clifton (Pop) Herring, and Pop’s assistants knew Jordan would ride the bench on varsity, so they put him on JV, and it worked out perfectly. When he got to varsity, he was ready to lead the team. Pop gave Michael his time but made him earn everything else. They would play Around the World after practice, and Pop was nearly unbeatable. Jordan hated to lose, of course, so he kept improving until the day he finally won.”

Michael’s Development

“Some people, including Pop’s friend Jimmy Hebron, the coach at New Hanover, believe Herring could have won a state championship if he had put the explosive and fast-growing Jordan at forward and let him “play volleyball” with the towering Leroy Smith. Hebron says this as a compliment to Pop for putting Jordan’s development ahead of Pop’s own desire for trophies. It’s true that Jordan was better served by playing point guard than he would have been banging on the blocks, but Pop’s assistant and friend Ron Coley says the move was designed to make the team better. They knew Jordan was their best player, and they figured the surest way to get him the ball was to put it in his hands at the start of every play.” [Read more…] about Podcast Episode #38 — Everyone Needs a Leadership Coach and So Do You!

Podcast Episode #7 – How You Can Be An Intentional Leader

By Brandon W. Jones on July 17, 2017 0

Hello and welcome to the Leadership Done Right podcast, Episode 7 – How You Can Be An Intentional Leader.

[smart_track_player url=”http://traffic.libsyn.com/leadershipdoneright/LDR_007__How_You_Can_Be_An_Intentional_Leader.mp3″ title=”LDR 007: How You Can Be An Intentional Leader” social_linkedin=”true” social_email=”true” permalink=”http://leadershipdoneright.com/podcastepisode7″ tweet_text=”Check out episode #7 of the Leadership Done Right Podcast!” hashtag=”LDRPodcast, #Leadership” twitter_username=”BrandonWJones1″ ]

In this episode, we are going to talk about what it means to be an intentional leader. When leaders are intentional they do things with a purpose. Their choices and actions are always done with a goal or end result in mind.

How You Can Be An Intentional Leader

Intentional leaders look at life differently than the average person. They realize that success and progress don’t just happen by chance. They happen as a direct result of actions. Therefore, intentional leaders conscientiously choose what they will do with their time and energy.

So why should leaders be intentional?

The Center for Intentional Leadership explains that “Intentional Leadership® is an approach that aligns desired outcomes, core values, and fundamental purpose for a significant increase in results.” [Read more…] about Podcast Episode #7 – How You Can Be An Intentional Leader

Leadership Development – Your #1 Responsibility

By Brandon W. Jones on October 15, 2014 0

When I was in my early 20’s, I had a leader that recognized potential in me. He felt like I could be a great leader someday so over the next two years, he held leadership development sessions with me on a regular basis. During those sessions he helped me recognize my strengths and how to leverage them. He also helped me overcome some of my weaknesses. He taught me many great leadership lessons. Those leadership development sessions helped me understand what I could become.

That leader was a great leader. His leadership development sessions helped me to be the person I am today. Those lessons have stuck with me through the years.

As a leader, you have the ability to provide leadership development sessions for those you lead. You can use this as an opportunity to help them grow to become great leaders. When they become great leaders, everyone benefits.

So what should you do during the leadership development sessions? The following four points explain topics you can address during these sessions.

Leadership Development

1. Provide Training

When leadership development is your number one goal, focus on helping those you lead to understand what it means to be a great leader and how they can become a great leader. Train them on the do’s and don’ts of great leadership. Also, help them understand how they can be a leader within their current roles and responsibilities.
