Big Picture Thinking

Rod Olson's "The Legacy Builder" presents an allegory about crafting individual and corporate success. "Legacy" is a quick read, but this slide show summary highlights some major points.


  • You control the process. The process drives the results. 
  • As coaches, we want to create followers in our essence (FAT - faithful, available, teachable)
  • Character and intent help foster communication, "buy in", and development
  • "Speak Greatness" as a transformational leader. Remember the acronym "THINK" - True, Helpful, Inspiring, Necessary, Kind 
  • People drive the process. When you fail or destroy your people, the process dies. 


If we want to change the world, then we have to change ourselves. The most powerful words we can tell an individual or a team are, "I believe in you."
