I first learned about Urban Meyer when he led the University of Utah to a perfect football season in 2004. He later coached Florida State and Ohio to National Championships.
So when he published a book a few months back, I was excited to learn about his remarkable leadership skills.
It's one thing to be a winner with one organization, but to take three separate teams to championships and undefeated seasons in your first few years is legendary.
In his book, Above The Line, Coach Meyer teaches several excellent truths.
One such truth is his formula for responsibility: ERO.
E= Event
R= Response
O= Outcome
We often don't control events nor outcomes, but we certainly control our response.
Meyer explained that one of his back-up quarterbacks became a true leader the moment he proactively took blame for a bad decision.
Dependents (whiners, complainers, judgers) become independent leaders the moment "R" becomes ingrained.
