Coaching Leader Quality 18 – Ability to Be Innovative and Creative

When we study many of the greatest coaches, we see that they were pioneers in the way they approached their craft.  Lee Strasbergmade actors go to deep dark places within themselves to find their voice.  Bill Walsh of the San Francisco Forty Niners, National Football League, invented a fast and short passing style that revolutionized the game and became known as “The West Coast” offense.

Great coaching leaders are not afraid to blaze a new trail in their profession, in fact, they see it as a big part of who they are.   For some this innovation is a result of one of their other qualities such as drive for achievement or resilience.  Any way you get there, you might think about your level of innovation and creativity.
