Changing A Losing Culture
Saturday 1st November 2008
This is not just about sports this is about changing a losing culture.
As a leader you can be part of the solution towards changing the culture or you can be part of the problem.
You will be part of the problem when you don't act on the information you receive. You will be part of the problem when you don't teach responsibility. You will be part of the problem when you don't hold people to the things that between you, you have decided are important to those around you.
You will be part of the solution when you start doing the things that need to be done for the sake of all. You will be part of the solution when you start taking action and do so with no regard to the cost it will have for you.
Mike Nolan, the San Francisco 49ers' dapper coach, was fired Monday night after seven games in his fourth consecutive dismal season, ending his attempt to rebuild the five-time Super Bowl champions.
After four straight losses culminating in Sunday's 29-17 defeat to the New York Giants, the 49ers didn't even wait until their bye next week before replacing Nolan with assistant head coach Mike Singletary.
This is not just about sports this is about changing a losing culture.
Can an Coach/Leader actually become more popular by losing his first game than by winning it?
San Francisco's Mike Singletary is testing that theory. In his first game, he has already proven he won't tolerate selfish play.
This is not just about sports this is about changing a losing culture.
Mike Singletary put his stamp on his coaching debut for the San Francisco 49ers, benching turnover-prone quarterback J.T. O'Sullivan in the second quarter and then sending volatile tight end Vernon Davis to the locker room with more than 10 minutes remaining Sunday.
"I told him that he would do a better job for us right now taking a shower and coming back and watching the game than going out on the field," Singletary said after the 34-13 loss to Seattle. "Simple as that." A seething Singletary first apologized to fans, then explained he's not going to stand for selfish, shoulder-shrugging losers in his locker room.
