Leadership Reminder

John C. Maxwell is one of the most well-known authorities on leadership teachings. While surfing for videos, I came across a brief interview he did about one of his books titled: The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership.

In the interview, John discusses two important principles: the law of addition (servanthood) and the law of the picture (people do what they see).  Both these concepts have a direct importance to the roll of youth hockey coach.  If you’re not coaching to serve the youth you have the opportunity to work with, you’re doing everyone a disservice.  If you don’t have a genuine interest to serve at heart, coaching is a tough road.

The law of the picture is crucial – people do what people see.  This is especially true when you’re working with kids.  They’re extremely impressionable, be sure you’re setting the right example.  It will not only help you mold the youth, it will also help you gain credibility as a coach.
