Your job is to pick, develop, encourage, and believe in the team. You are not the reason for the team’s success. When asked after the game how he “brought the team back to win” Brady said, “We brought each other back.” Great leaders know that the team is the reason for the success. * Believe in your team more than yourself. If you can’t believe that your team can achieve the goals you set for them, they you need to either get rid of some people or take the time to develop them so they can succeed. Instead of getting upset when things are going wrong, and getting crazily excited when things are going right, create calm confidence… The leader changed plans and did so with calm confidence. They tried several trick plays: onside kick, direct snap to the running back, pass by the wide receiver. When they were losing, they changed their plays and strategy. It also doesn’t mean that Brady was pretending everything was OK and just kept doing the same thing. The point is that he is controlling and directing his emotions to serve the team. You can catch glimpses of not upset, but in his eyes you can see how him not winning was driving him to be more focused and to be present and play each play as it is meant to be. This does not mean that Brady is not emotional. The leader defines the energy of the team. A global research study of thousands of leaders and their teams over decades showed that at work, the energy/motivation/enthusiasm of the team is never higher than the leader. If the leader is a conflict avoider, then so goes the team. If he is political cover-your-ass guy, then so is his team. If she is an innovator, then the team is an innovator. I get to see many leaders up close in many industries and many situations as I consult to them, and after a while it becomes clear that the leader of the team is creating the energy of their team. If Edelman wasn’t as focused and confident as he was, he would never in a million years have caught that ball. In fact, one can argue it was this calm confidence that enabled the big plays to be big plays. Even after being sacked several times in the first half, Brady simply got up and started the next play. James White’s run through people twice his size into the end zone. Edelman’s miraculous catch off the tipped ball before it hit the ground. You can see this calm confidence in the big plays. His approach is to act with confidence that they are going to succeed so that the team approaches each play with calm confidence. In the huddle especially, they pick up his energy. In the pregame interview with Terry Bradshaw, Brady acknowledged that his team feels his energy. New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady
