I spend a lot of time coaching young millennials on what I have seen it takes to be successful. These young leaders have more talent and potential than I ever did. It is an absolute joy watching them soar!
On June 1st, Peter King retired from Sports Illustrated after a 29-year career at the magazine and is moving to NBC Sports. Peter is my favorite pro football writer. To honor him, the magazine profiled King in its May 7th edition. What I enjoyed most about the article was how it chronicled his first job just out of college all the way to becoming the league’s most respected reporter. The lessons for young leaders and how to get started in their chosen profession and achieve its highest rewards is profound.
The following are 25 Steps Millennial Leaders Need To Take To Have Sustained Success For Their Entire Career I gleaned from the article:
To Have Sustained Success Never Despise Small Beginnings – Just out of college, King took a job as a cub sports reporter for the Cincinnati Enquirer.
To Have Sustained Success Be Willing To Pay A Physical Price – During the Cincinnati Bengals 1984 training camp, King noted “We’re in the middle of nowhere Ohio, it’s 89 degrees with 80 percent humidity every day, standing out there for four hours.”
To Have Sustained Success Become An Expert At Your Craft – Now with the Newsday and covering the New York Giants, then-head coach Bill Parcells noted of King, “He was eager and very interested in the subject matter. He was a big football fan. Quite interested in the nuances of organizations and how they’re being run. Then the player acquisition and strategic
elements of the game. Then, I think more so, he was interested in the personalities of the game, this game for maladjusted people.”
STAY TUNED FOR THE REMAINING....✌🏾🙂
Good morning This morning !
