Three Qualities that TRANSFORM Teams Into Champions!

I believe there are MANY qualities that championship teams display. Here are three principles that will help transition a team, organization, or family into champions...

Three Qualities that Transform Teams Into Champions!


First, Champions Have One Vision:
You can also say one goal! One dream…one common bond that the team is willing to believe and invest in. You can’t win without some level of sacrifice and the vision causes the desire within the heart to sacrifice. How many talented teams have lost because they lacked a real vision? Being unified by one vision is what causes a average team to work that much harder, sacrifice more, and even believe that they can win when others say they won't!

Second, Champions Embrace Their Identity: I have watched MANY talented teams struggle and actually lose games they should have easy won because they struggle to find a common identity, or they just don't believe they should be what they are. This is why the physically superior teams don't always win in sports. Many people call this, "team chemistry" when in fact it is knowing, understanding, and believing in who you are. It is sad to see as games are blown, in fact whole seasons ruined all due to the struggles of self(TEAM)-identity. We must embrace our identity, not struggle to be something we are not!

Third, Champions are Completely Dedicated:
Once a team knows and is unified in their vision, and understands and embraces who they are…they must be fully dedicated to accomplishing whatever task/goal is set before them. For any kind of team this requires dedication on two levels. First, individuals must be fully dedicated to do the best at their position as possible…whatever the job is they do it with 110% effort! Second, every individual is fully dedicated to the entire team succeeding, not just shining at their particular position.

Can these team transformation qualities transfer into our families or workplace? I believe they can...How can you cause your family to be successful? How can you create an atmosphere of champions in your workplace? Please feel free to respond to these questions and add your own insight.
