I love how you talk about focusing on what we do and developing relationships with our players and helping them identify their goals and aligning them with our team's goals. A great way of thinking about how to build culture with your team.
It’s amazing how simple but over looked these 3 ways to gain “buy in.” I myself have tried to demand buy in over the years and it has stunted my teams growth and my own growth. I see it currently with our organization and which parts of the company are consistently growing because they have mastered creating something worth it and capturing that self interest and aligning with the team. Thanks Brian!
This is a good video. I’m a high school boys lacrosse head coach and we’ve had our most successful season in 10 years but shifting the culture. These videos are great for providing ideas we’ve used in our program.
Show them where they are, where they want to be and how they are going to get there. When they tell you where they want to be, then your job is done. Comes down to executing the plan with energy and passion at that point! Great video, Brian. Love your work.
You're spot on that the term buy in is being tuned out. It's funny because we used to use the term buy in but I just realized that we haven't used that term since our culture took a huge step forward years ago. Coincidence?
We’re asking players (and parents) to invest in us as leaders and, in turn, in themselves/the program. So our behaviors need to match what THEY want out of the program, which ultimately feeds self/interest(s) of the team/organizations members. Not so easy. But discipline and CONSISTENT effort in alignment, I believe, can whittle away those who would never “buy-in” to begin with.
Leadership is about influence. Help them meet those standards. Reality, leaders only set the expectation. Employees are responsible for meeting those standards and a leader judged that standard.

While culture can feel complex from above, when you dig underneath and see the relationships . . . it gets simple.

Extremely powerful way to go about it.

That’s all we’re looking for: people who want to execute together with energy and a competitive attitude!
BK you had some amazing points. Loved the point of figuring out what self interest is important to each team member.
Surprising? Powerful!
@@TBrianKight it’s not surprising. It’s just a great reminder. I think it is easy to forget how important it is as a leader.

Turns out when you create culture the right way, buy-in is a by-product.
B another great video and something we all need to hear as leaders.
Thanks Mark. Very necessary.

Well stated.
Yep
Glad it aligns for you Tom

100%. Leaders are ultimately responsible for whether people meet the standards, but that doesn't lower anyone else's responsibility.
