Inexperienced team members or those new to the team often confront gnarly problems where the solution is not obvious, at least to them. In order to resolve or manage the problem, they naturally reach out to leaders for guidance and assistance. Rather than simply giving them the answer, the best leaders use the opportunity and treat it as an important teaching moment.
As a medically retired firefighter, safety was paramount however after reading this one of the cultural values was our risk benefit analysis. My greatest leaders would allow me to operate how I saw fit, obviously unless there was a specific task or order that had to be done. I have worked as an iron worker before with companies that did not have a mission statement and or core values and things would get sketchy. Now retired and coaching high school rugby I am attempting to see how our club can develop a culture of playing and responding to game situations from the values and standards we are cultivating. Any feedback would be appreciated.
The ability to trust my players and know that we have trained hard on our foundations, so during the chaos of the match and everything is going to hell and they are exhausted. The simplest things are second nature and they have the confidence to lean into themselves and one another because of the trust that I have in them.

Great, Jared!
What are the behaviors you saw from your great leaders that are applying well in your coaching these days?
