TEAM's Billy Florence: Have A Second Half Mindset

Billy Florence, “Two skills required for progress are to start and to finish. Sports greats often suggest having a second half mindset. Coach Lou Holz teaches us that it’s always too soon to quit. Second half offers us the opportunity to walk away ‘a champion’. Be a strong finisher. Since how we think determines our actions, wanted to share some thoughts from Coach Holz."

Billy Florence: Lou’s Leadership Legacy

"How you respond to the challenge in the second half will determine what you become after the game, whether you are a winner or a loser." - Lou Holz

"Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it." – Lou Holz

Florence Team Work – Insights: They Always Say

Years of owning and building businesses have provided me with the opportunity to meet and learn from some truly amazing people. You might be surprised to learn that people who achieve in sports, business, and public service have more in common than a casual observer might guess.

Q. What could a winning basketball coach, top CEOs, prime ministers and presidents have in common?

A. They tend to think differently than most people but very much like each other.

I don’t mean they vacation in Florida or order extra pepperoni on their pizza. They think alike about things that make a championship difference. What things? Things like daily habits, focus, teamwork, responsibility and integrity.

We regularly hear this phrase, “Well, you know what they always say…"

Here’s what champions always say…

The will to win is not nearly as important as the will to prepare to win. Great men are not born but become great through adversity and persistence. - Fred Harteis, President Harteis International

You will never change your life until you change something you do daily. - John Maxwell, Author and Consultant

Be the difference you want to see in the world. - Mahatma Gandhi, Activist

You can work miracles by having faith in others. To get the best out of people, choose to think and believe the best about them. - Billy Florence, Entrepreneur & Former President of IBOAI

Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other. - Abraham Lincoln, President United States

Teamwork divides the task and doubles the success. - Orrin Woodward, Co-Founder Team

It’s what you learn after you know it all that counts. - John Wooden, Basketball Coach

If you want something said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman. - Margaret Thatcher, Prime Minister

Fred Harteis & Linda Harteis: Customer Service Business Tip

Thanks to Fred Harteis and Linda Harteis for sharing this valuable wisdom on the importance of customer service in business...

Fred Harteis, “Long term taking care of the customer is what keeps a company in business. In the hospitality business one way to stand out from the crowd is making the stay at your hotel something that can’t be easily copied. This successful case study provides an excellent business service example.”

Fred Harteis and Linda Harteis Business Case Study – Customer Service

A hotel wanted to offer its guests a special experience in every aspect of their stay. So each guest room is uniquely decorated by a different designer and a virtual tour of every room is online at the front desk so guests can pick the rooms they want. The final touch is small but telling. To update the ever-present mini-bar – and encourage guests to use theirs – the hotel staff stock it with the snacks that the guests themselves request when they check in. Every detail counts.

Louis Mazzante & Jean Mazzante - Making Wise Decisions

Louis Mazzante, “Our actions speak more loudly than words.”


Louis and Jean Mazzante: Quick Leadership Wit and Wisdom


MAZZANTE ABOUT MAKING DECISIONS

William McKinley, the 25th U.S. President, once had to choose between two equally qualified men for a key job. He puzzled over the choice until he remembered a long-ago incident.

On a rainy night, McKinley had boarded a crowded streetcar. One of the men he was not considering had also been aboard, thought he didn’t see McKinley. Then an old woman carrying a basket of laundry struggled into the car, looking in vain for a seat. The job candidate pretended not to see her and kept his seat. McKinley gave up his seat to help her.

Remembering the episode, which he called “this little omission of kindness,” McKinley decided against the man on the streetcar. Our decisions – even the small, fleeting ones – tell a lot about us.
