Meyer believes
that, though talent, coaching, training and tactics matter, the key to success
is leadership. That’s why he teaches a
class on the subject for a select group of his Buckeyes. Part of the class centers on this simple equation: E
(event) + R (response) = O (outcome).
“You can’t control the event,” Meyer
explains in the Columbus Dispatch. “You
can’t control the outcome. But what you
can control as the leader is your response.
Your response as a leader is the other people’s ‘E’.”
We each have an
opportunity to lead in our work, in our relationships and in our hobbies. When we live and act purposefully, not impulsively,
we set an example for others, create a culture of accountability and improve
our chances of building a consistent winner.
