A Leader’s Greatest Motivation: A Challenge

If a coach is looking for leaders on the team, the quickest way to spot one is to give them a challenge, problem or issue that is way over their heads, add a little risk to it, and see if they are willing to put a little skin in the game.

Leaders love uncertainty.

They love being on the edge where they don’t know if they are going to make or break it. They love not knowing how things are going to end up, but one thing is for sure: Good leaders bet on themselves. They will take the potential reward even though it could end up being a potential loss.

Real leaders love a challenge.
