Profile in Leadership: Pat Summitt

Five years ago (June 28, 2016) we lost one of the greatest leaders I have known when Pat Summitt died. She was more than just a legendary basketball coach. She probably could have run for governor in the state of Tennessee.  You never heard a negative word uttered about her.

I’ve previously published two articles about Pat Summitt that you might be interested in reading. One is from the day she retired from coaching entitled “Why Pat Summitt is the Best” and the other was from the day she died entitled “Will You Reach for the Summitt with your Legacy?”. 

Additionally, here is a piece I wrote for a newsletter back in 2011 called “Profile in Leadership: Pat Summitt”. I thought the quotes and thoughts about her might elicit good memories about her or inspire you today to make a difference in the lives of those around you.

The Courage to Address Problems

This is a guest post from Dr. Keith Starcher, a long-time college professor and business consultant. Most importantly, he is the father of my wife, which makes him a big-deal.

Not all conflict is bad.

In fact, conflict may at times be good for an organization. Conflict gets our attention. Normal and healthy conflict can help a group clarify its goals. It can also be the catalyst for making necessary changes. 

Remember also that sometimes what appears on the surface to be the source of conflict is not the true source at all; it is only a symptom of the real problem.

The source is almost always below the surface.

Why Do Employees Leave?

This is a guest post from Dr. Keith Starcher, a long-time college professor and business consultant. Most importantly, he is the father of my wife, which makes him a big-deal.

“Employees don’t leave their organizations; they leave their supervisors.”

When I first was introduced to the above statement, I disagreed with it.  But after reading the book First, Break All the Rules (What the World’s Greatest Managers Do Differently) by Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman, my thinking has changed.

Leaders are responsible for the choices they make.  Many of a leader’s choices involve tough decisions and difficult actions.  Leaders must have the courage to do what they think is right and be willing to accept the consequences of their choices.

This is a guest post from Dr. Keith Starcher, a long-time college professor and business consultant. Most importantly, he is the father of my wife, which makes him a big-deal.

Social research might prove what we’ve known all along.

Money can’t buy happiness. 

Nor, it turns out, can good looks or social status.
