What do you look for in a person or team? Let me tell you what I look for:
Number 1, I look for commitment. Whether your already part of my team or your looking to join, I want to see that you are here to grow and get better.
Number 2, I want to see you during your most frustrating times. I want to know if you can maintain the same levels of confidence through your failures as you can through your successes.
Number 3, I have to see consistency. I have to know that you are showing up and performing your best on a regular basis.
I don't care about your race, sexual preference, creed, age, sex, or your cultural background. I want to know that you are going to bring value to my circle time and time again. I'm looking for camaraderie, brotherhood or sisterhood, let's call it family hood. I want to know that I can count on you to hold everyone to the same standard, regardless of situation, relationship, or status. I want to see us all move forward together.
Without these consistent commitments to everyone we are driftless. We are weak, we are flash, and we are formless.
With it, we are strong, we are flow, and we are growing.
These are my blue belt blues.
