[QUOTE="COJacket, post: 114247, member: 67"] Boomers and MWBATL both have excellent posts. They are totally right on IMHO. To paraphrase what Gerstner wrote in his leading the turn around of IBM, culture was just not one of the things that they had to address, it was the most important thing. And as we know from leadership studies, all it takes is one new member of a team to have a new team, thus MWBATL is right on about how this is an intangible. With the amount of turnover we will have this coming year, it is all about who will step up. How will the culture change on the team? In my studies of great teams, it is just not one leader. CPJ and Roof can only do so much (they do lay down the foundation), and then individuals on the team have to step up. And, when you have a small core group that is driving the collective leadership of the team, then it becomes magical (like this year). You want to be part of this culture. You want to learn from the "collective" as a new team member. You want to continue the winning ways and you can see that you can have success along with the team. You understand when Days said "we are going to Charlotte" in preseason practice, why that is possible and want to get behind that. When you lead by example like JeT waiting until the very last second to pitch and then get creamed by two DL's or LB's, you want to lay it on the line as well. When a walk-on comes on, coach gives them a chance to prove themselves, and then they are successful, you can get your "mind right" and go out and give 110% because you know it can be done on this team. Because I see the "possibilities" of who is going to lead this team next year, because I believe our coaches are bringing in the right recruits and laying the right foundation, because I know as Herbstreit said on one of the pre game shows "Georgia Tech is doing this the right way", and we have Derrick Moore in our locker room (we are going to get knocked down, bleed a little, and then we are going to get up and fight some more! fight some more!) I am choosing to focus on moments of positive resonance and say our team next year will also be special. THWG! [/QUOTE]
