  People are saying older coaches won't follow Beamer here is why this will work at Carolina When I was young, every time I would leave the house for school or football practice, my dad would encourage me with the words . Be a leader! But dad, I  would think to myself as the door closed behind me, I'm not the leader I am just the guy in the middle of the pack; I don't lead anything.

When we think about being a leader, we often think about being the boss. Most of us came up in an environment where being the considered the leader was tied your position or tittle. This was unfortunate if you found yourself in the middle of the organization with no title and no position of authority. It was even more unfortunate if, when you did get position with a title. Your influence was completely dependent on your title. People followed you because they had to: you were the boss.

On the other hand,  if  you knew that leadership is about influence, you would have invested your time in the middle of the organization developing your influence ,up and down ,and across . That way, when you did get the titled position, people will follow you because they want to not  because they have to. No matter where ever you are your network of friends, contacts help if you hope to grow as an leader, you must expand the relationships you enjoy beyond your current areas of expertise and your current areas of strength. When you can establish connections with an more diverse se of people, you will accelerate your ability to grow as an leader.

Beamer I think checks the boxes in these areas I think that is why Ray Tanner was impressed with Beamer. He joins communities of interest. he is curious,teachable and he is generous. The investment Beamer has made will pay dividends  at U.S.C.  GO COCKS!
