Watching Liverpool’s transformation by one man (and his coaching team) is quite extraordinary. Does the TEAM still have a long way to go? Are the fans getting a bit carried away? The answer is a resounding YES. However what one man (and his team) has done with a squad that many had said was the weakest squad ever assembled by Liverpool is remarkable.
After Liverpool had lost 2-1 to Crystal Palace at Anfield in November our new coach was taken aback at supporters leaving early, saying “ It made him feel alone “ and adding, “we decide when it’s over!”
So what can we learn from this transformation of a side languishing in 8th position in the Premier league?
- You can’t do it alone. You need your supporters -If you do not have a mentor find one
- Don’t let others decide when it is over – Simply put, never give up
- Have a strong coach – The CEO/ Boss should be someone people can look up to, can inspire and be proud to work for. (every player on the Liverpool squad will run through a Brick wall for their Coach)
- Do not believe all the negative talk – Put your head down and get the work done.
- Be a Believer – Back your skills and expertise
- Grow/ Improve – Always look for ways to improve your skill set
- Give Back– Remember to thank people
- You can't wave a magic wand - to become the best it takes time and a lot of hard work
- You are not alone – Do not be afraid to ask for help
- The Coach needs to have their players ‘back’ (when the crowd gave their keeper some slack, he told them during the game to be quiet, which gave his player more confidence) – You need to show your CEO/Boss why they should support you
- Confidence/ Belief – Believe in yourself
