Some thoughts from the podcast: * Because you desire to be better, you will want to quality control your team. * It is easy to be a Monday morning QB, always easier to point the finger after the fact and from distance. * Be slow to criticize, those that understand can give you value, need trust and you must listen. * Am I the Lid on my team?  Create systems to help. * If you don’t work to get better, you won’t… try something new.

Episode 6 - Why Quality Control Is Important

The Head Football Coach of Knox College Damon Tomeo is joined by Scott Cramer exploring ways to improve leadership skills. Hope vs Results - Why you need to have some of both within your tea Some thoughts from the podcast: * Balance between: Hope – The best is yet to come. Results – with goals and discipline you want to see progress * We all “want” however, you get the response you deserve when you have earned it * You win or you learn (not lose). Embrace and learn from it * Patience. Have realistic optimism... I will succeed, but it will be hard and it will take time * Passive vs Active behavior (symbiotic relationship). Action is what gives you hope, hope drives you to more action * Set your goal and chart your progress, break down into small/controllable parts Special thanks to Dan Marlin, Skylar Cramer, Steve Davis, and Tom Meredith for their different expertise and helping to make the podcast possible.
