Its similar to, you know, me telling that player that, you know, if I say you lead by example what Im saying is youre not a leader. I thought you wanted to sign a pro contract. They have come from philosophers, writers, former captains, and even a team manager. I think theyre an amazing thing that really sets the tone for a whole organization. And obviously it sounds like, Melissa, you do your own hiring. You can find more Bring It In podcast episodes here. And its certainly not just the bottom line. Every person is different. Being best on my team is good enough for where you want to go. So the first step in leading anyone is to win their trust. And we would give speeches and then Jack Welch, the famous CEO of General Electric, would get up there on a stage and sit in a comfortable chair like Im doing now. Anson has 40 years in his coaching career and hes lost less than 70 games. And here they are. Anson: I mean, its so tempting to hire that. Every one of my church teaches. Its basically about accountability. Did you ever wonder why Carolinas womens soccer team has been so successfulthe most successful collegiate sports program in history? The Schoolsframework strategic planning document identifies a set of core values that have been just as important in our success. For example, the first core value is "we don't whine." Thats awesome. So in your case, you know, someone with an incredible high IQ or some Harvard graduate that finished, you know, summa cum laude. Their own narrative that is not interested in exploring their potential but is crafted to keep them comfortable while recruiting every possible excuse along the way. So how do we want to live? We play for each other. But I think its an amazing thing to hear you talk about how strong your core values are, and the quality of character of your players. So we stole this idea, we soccer-ized it, we took it to a new level. So, you know, we had this insipid, you know, core value about working hard, but theres nothing motivational about this core value of working hard because that inspires no one. The most important thing is what I just addressed. I am a member of a conservative church. But when you talk to your mom youre claiming that you are, so like, you know, Mom, I cant believe it, you know, Im kicking everyones rear end in practice, and Im just not given a chance at the game. Melissa: I love that. In 1999, I was invited to lecture on athletic excellence in a freshman honors seminar on campus. They get to see exactly where they are on it. Next five line up on what I call the N line, whatever you call the edge of the court in basketball. In a typical narrative its laced with protections about why they havent achieved their potential.

You just want to be the best on this team. But the average of those numbers will tell them what their potential is. All of this has been done through the cauldron. Anson: please call me any time. Theres another level in you. Anson: So basically we have this hidden language the players know that Im using with the press thats designed to sort of protect them, but also designed to let them know theyre not good enough yet. So over the past 28 years, since our program began in 1979, what are the best elements of our tradition? We have 13 different core values that every one of our players has to live by. If they take responsibility its amazing the things that theyre going to accomplish as soon as they take responsibility for everything. We soccerized it, and we took it to a completely different level. Ive worked with him and a year or two later, he was the best salesman at the company. We need them to embrace and live what we have collected below because our culture and core values are only as strong as our leaders and what they endorse and drive as acceptable behavior. And she gave the most wonderful senior exit speech Ive ever heard. It has become the foundation of . And I loved it. If you love those you teach, if you love those to coach, if you love those you lead, theyre going to feel it. Right now were in the heart of the womens World Cup, and this inspired me to learn from elite athletes and coaches to unpack their tips and tricks for building winning cultures. You criticized me here. Movies. And so I really appreciated that. If they are below the line and theyre on scholarship, I try to get them to transfer. We hate whiners in the program. So how did you find and figure out what the right 28 categories were to be able to provide feedback on? Anson: Its to save your bottom line. Its not just the Jack Welch speech. You get to know them, you get to find out how to lead them and you have to embrace the fact they are different. Its unrolling itself out on a world stage. He was the first coach in NCAA history to win 20 championships coaching a single sport. Alex Hutchinson Author of Endure: Mind, Body, and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance, 2X Canadian Olympic Runner, Cambridge Ph.D. Because theyre not working for you, which is why theyre in your bottom 10%. So thats the second principle. But right now for us its hit or miss. Melissa: So lets talk a little bit about these 28 factors that you identify and grade on or rate on every day. We added one last year and its a fabulous one, and Ill read it to you. She called me up one day. That 10 year lawsuit was a part of it, but also Jack Welch, one of the great business people of all time, convinced me of this as well. And of course these are, you know, very successful CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, and their top managerial staff, and every one of them has paid like, you know, $20,000 to be in the room, and of course theyre righteously indignant with this incredibly successful man telling them to fall on the bottom 10% of their workforce. She needs to live. Its a huge mistake to recruit talent. So I pulled her aside and I said, you know, so-and-so, Im sorry, but shut up. So its almost like a gender pressure against leadership. Coach Dorrance: Yes. Part of that is hiring more coaches to do that. Because obviously almost every kid we recruit on scholarship has the dream of playing professionally, so almost every one of our scholarship kids does sign a professional contract. But through this love, love of family, love of neighborhood, love of community, love of the people that work for you and the people you serve, the customers, because hes also a free enterprise, this unbelievable man, Arthur Blank is. And she runs a character lab. And then sure enough, were following it, and it does. So those three fundamental things, basically the core values, which is character construction, the competitive cauldron, which is basically mentality construction. The professor had some literature that I found so powerful that I now use it with my team. So how do you inject this mindset into your players? Im looking forward to chatting with you. Part of the UNC Women's Soccer philosophy is about breaking down personal narratives so that we can construct an accurate view of ourselves and how we can improve.

And then all of a sudden five minutes before the practice session begins a manager of the team comes up and hands us a practice outline of whats going to happen. And she said, Anson, this is the most extraordinary man Ive ever met in my life. Melissa: So its been fun for me because I went through the process, as I was getting ready for this interview I read about you and I watched some interviews that you gave, and I have to tell you I was positively blown away by your numbers. If theyre below the line and theyre not on scholarship, I try to get them to quit. And in the old days I never shared any of this data with any of my kids. In the old days, because I love reading business books, Ive read all the business books of best sellers and Ive read them all.

And by the way, I have a leadership class that meets once a week all off season for 1/2 hour called my leadership council, and its my leadership training platform. I want them to win gold medals in the Olympics. And I was thinking, this is incredible, because for years I tried to save everyone. Anson: Self-belief. But youre actually giving them a very positive opportunity when you fire them. So were always looking for a cutting edge idea that we think can move us forward. So basically thats the construction of our player conference, which takes me out of the subjective mode. It is produced basically now because I was the first coach that took the United States from nowhere to the top of the world. I love the accountability of it. Anson DorranceaEUs 12 Core Values for Team Success (Podcast Episode 2020) on IMDb: Plot summary, synopsis, and more. There was nothing inspiring about them, and I was thinking gosh, none of this stuff works. When I went to Columbia, we had just hired a Russian exile poet by the name of Joseph Brodsky. Is that true? The School of Government depends on private and public support for fulfilling its mission. But basically thats one of many failed experiments that Ive done with my leaders. And I know that thats something in the corporate world thats been a really hot topic lately, are performance reviews and giving people real time performance feedback. I was one of the warm-up bands along with Stephen Covey and Hyrum Smith. To live the core values is incredibly challenging because this is a review of their character. You see, in this first slide, the parents are screaming at the kid. And then once they do, once they start to finish high, once they start to play, they understand that everythings in their full control, including winning and losing matches at the highest possible level. This kid is coming home from school. And basically what he is trying to tell me. They guide the players from season to season, practice to practice, minute to minute. Were sending our top athletes all over the place and a lot of that is because they are living the core values in the most positive way and Im writing that into the recommendation. Now, the way we raise our kids, as we spend every single day ass-kissing all of them, they have no sense of authority because they know their parents are full of crap. That wasnt good. But these were leaders. And all of a sudden I saw this transformation that was phenomenal. And then we also have them evaluate every teammate on whether or not they were living each core value, and we did it on a 4 point scale, sort of like a GPA, so 4 is obviously a 4.0, its an A average, so 4 is an extraordinary example of this core value. But let me tell you what the truth is. But theres some that arent going to make it, and they just, they dont believe it. So I have also read that you sit down with your players once a year to kind of do an overall player evaluation. Each year the players grade themselves and their teammates on the extent to which they embody the core values.

Many of the values are drawn from books on leadership, and they are illustrated by a diverse set of symbols and quotations. And so thats my main job. In other words, you were so incredibly demanding. Paraphrase, and obviously were bringing in our culture.

If you want to coach or lead in any environment. [Laughs.] And so what this motivates all of them to do is to compete.

The true meaning of life is to plant trees under whose shade you do not expect to sit No, this just means if you love them you dont critique them or criticize them, or basically try to get them to the truth. And so I had all these ridiculous core values that I was expecting everyone to live by, but no one really lived by them except if it was a coincidence. And as far as Im concerned, if her average is over a 3.0, in other words she lives these core values most of the time, we completely embrace her, because thats what we want everyone to live.

Because theyve been filled with absolute garbage from their parents and often from their youth coaches. And when they dont sign a pro contract its not because I havent told them the areas where they have fallen. And she and her colleagues were insulted, and this cabal got together and basically said I dont think Professor Brodsky understands who hes dealing with here.
