Re: Stringer Trade Worth
Don't know if anyone has read the All Blacks book Legacy. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18890191-legacy
It's a great book with so many lessons. Some important values below.There is 15 in total but thought it was worth highlighting some important ones.
How well does Jake live some of these?

Let us be united, not pulling against one another.
No Dickheads
Whānau is your family, your mates, your team, your organization. For the whānau to move forward, everyone within it must move in the same direction. This is the essence of team –working hard for each other, in harmony, without dissent, submerging individual ego for a greater cause. This extends to selection –No Dickheads –and the fostering of connections, trust and collaboration between all levels of the organization. In this way people work for each other, rather than for individual glory. In the All Blacks, high standards are fundamental and are enforced by the players themselves, who are trusted to do the task. Success can be traced back to the connections between members of the team and their collective character, something true of all winning organizations. Great leaders ruthlessly protect their people, encouraging connection, collaboration and collective ownership, nurturing a safe environment of trust, respect and family.
Train to Win
Practise under pressure.
——Tangata akona ki te kāinga, tūngia ki te marae, tau ana.
A person who is taught at home will stand with confidence in the community.
Train to Win
Mastery in anything –a sport, a skill, a craft, business –is achieved by practice. Practice is enhanced by intensity. Research has shown that both our body and our brains respond positively to a diet of accelerated, intense learning, which leads to dramatic improvements and competitive advantage. The All Blacks embrace the power of intensity to ‘train to win’ –working with randomized scenarios and unexpected challenges in order to recalibrate the players’ tolerance for high-pressure situations. The aim is to enable greater clarity and accuracy under stressful circumstances –and to enhance the ability to bring attention back to the present and the task at hand. Smart leaders utilize intensity to challenge themselves and their teams, and to increase competence and capability. Just as core body exercises are vital for physical conditioning, so core psychological training is essential to develop mental toughness and resilience.
Know Thyself
Keep it real.
——He tangata kī tahi.
A person who can be taken at his word.
Know Thyself
In recognizing our deepest values, we can understand what kind of leader we are and what kind of life we wish to lead. Authenticity –the mark of a true leader –begins with honesty and integrity. Honesty allows us access to our truest vision of ourselves and, when setbacks occur, gives us strong foundations. Integrity gets the job done. If our values, thoughts, words and actions are aligned, then our word is our world. With accuracy of action, less slippage occurs between thought and deed. In knowing ourselves, we live our vision. By being our word, we make it happen.
Champions Do Extra
Find something you would die for and give your life to it.
——Kaua e mate wheke, mate ururoa.
Don’t die like an octopus, die like a hammerhead shark.
Champions Do Extra
The motto ‘Champions do extra’ refers to the extra, discretionary effort and sacrifice it takes to do something extraordinary. Whatever we do in life, we’re giving our life for it, so we best be sure it is worth it. Killing time is slow suicide. Treading water is drowning. So, what are we prepared to give our life to? As leaders, what kind of life will we lead? It begins by doing extra; the extra set at the gym, the extra burst of hard work, the extra sprint, the extra effort. Think of Buckminster Fuller: ‘What is my job on the planet? What is it that needs doing, that I know something about, that probably won’t happen unless I take responsibility for it?’ What is the extra that will make us extraordinary?
Be a Good Ancestor
Plant trees you’ll never see.
——E tipu, e rea, mō ngā rā o tōu ao.
Grow and branch forth for the days of your world.
Be a Good Ancestor
Our time is limited. Understanding the fragility of life is the first step in understanding our role and responsibility as a leader. Our greatest responsibility is to honour those who came before us and those who will come after, to ‘leave the jersey in a better place’. We are the stewards of our organizations, the caretakers of our own lineage. Our actions today will echo beyond our time. They are our legacy. Manaaki Whenua, Manaaki Tangata, Haere whakamua. Care for the land, Care for the people, Go forward.
Sweep the Sheds
Never be too big to do the small things that need to be done.
——Kāore te kūmara e whāki ana tana reka.
The kūmara (sweet potato) does not need to say how sweet he is.
Sweep the Sheds
The great sports coaches of the past such as John Wooden and Vince Lombardi put humility at the core of their teaching. The All Blacks place a similar emphasis on their fundamental and foundational values, going so far as to select on character over talent. The players are taught never to get too big to do the small things that need to be done. ‘Exceptional results demand exceptional circumstances,’ says Wayne Smith. These conditions help shape the culture and therefore the ethos –the character –of the team. Humility begins at the level of interpersonal communication, enabling an interrogative, highly facilitated learning environment in which no one has all the answers. Each individual is invited to contribute solutions to the challenges being posed. This is a key component of building sustainable competitive advantage through cultural cohesion. It leads to innovation, increased self knowledge, and greater character. It leads towards mana.
Here is the full list of values if anyone is interested: http://ylmsportscience.blogspot.com....rinciples.html
