Year after year we watch Tom Izzo coaching a winning team. How he succeeds at MSU can teach us important lessons about coaching in our organizations.
1. Like Tom, recruit and select the right players.
2. Like Tom, develop the players to play well together as a team.
3. Like Tom, develop the right strategy for winning and drill the players on the plays.
4. Like Tom, observe, give feedback and set goals.
5. Like Tom, reward success and analyze failure.
6. Like Tom, get rid of players who have a bad attitude.
7. Like Tom, care deeply about your players as people.
8. Like Tom, remember that coaching is an ongoing process, not an event.
9. Like Tom, remember coaching always happens at two levels; the individual and the team.
10. Like Tom, remember it’s about the kids and not about you.
11. Like Tom, have fun!
I’m working on an article on coaching and I am interested in interviewing leaders about their coaching experiences. Please let me know whether you would be interested in an interview by phone or in person.
