Sen. Robert Singer (R-Ocean) from New Jersey, wants the NCAA to investigate the Feb. 11 Rutgers-Tennessee game, won by the Lady Volunteers (59-58) amid a dispute about whether the clock paused, allowing a foul and game-winning free throws.
It also reminds me of Sen. Arlene Specter who is going after the New England patriots for spygate. Specter is from Pennsylvania a huge Eagles fan.
It gives you a picture of leaders who either don’t want to lead or don't have the capacity to lead, so they appeal to an audience hoping to solve a problem that really has little if any potential to make a difference in a world when there are many problems waiting for someone with leadership and courage to tackle them that would make a huge difference.
Should Senators be worried about basketball games?It can happen where you lead too. If you are not careful, you will find yourself solving problems that really aren’t that great of magnitude, because the ones that are take a huge amount of leadership and courage.
Don’t let it happen to you.
Remember King David? He took on a huge problem, that no one else was willing to tackle for forty days. The problem a nine foot giant named Goliath. David said, “Let noone lose heart on account of this philistine, your servant will go and fight him.” He did and killed Goliath. He automatically went from being a shepherd boy to a national hero.
David went to a new level of influence and leadership. It was said that Saul kills thousands, but David has killed tens of thousands…
Why? David took on the biggest problem and conquered it.
Go find a Goliath, that every one else is afraid of and solve it. You will be amazed at what happens to your influence and leadership. Don’t settle for solving problems that really don’t contribute to making your world or work place better.
Don’t run from Goliaths, run to them if you want to a go to a whole new level of leading.
