Inspire loyalty like great sports coaches.
- For more on Keith Ferrazzi visit www.ferrazzigreenlight.com

Whether you want to recruit and retain dedicated, talented people for your organization or you just want to cultivate great friendships in your personal life, you can't just ask for loyalty from those around you. You have to inspire it within them.

In Never Eat Alone I shared how Mike Milken taught me the three most powerful keys to loyalty are health, wealth, and children. Well, here, from Dr. Mark Goulston, are some additional insights on how you can inspire loyalty by copying great sports coaches.

What do coaches Pete Carroll of USC and John Wooden of UCLA have in common? They had incredibly talented players such as Matt Leinart and Lew Alcindor (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) who could have played anywhere, but chose to play for Carroll and Wooden over the immediate gratification of money, adulation and other perks.

Why did they choose fierce loyalty over self-interest? They realized and seized that rare opportunity to play for Carroll and Wooden for whom it was such an honor, that they wanted to extend the experience as long as they could. What was so special about Carroll and Wooden was:

* their fierce determination to be successful based on "steak" rather than just "sizzle" (a simple but not easy commitment in Los Angeles/Hollywood);

* their living their lives by the above values and not turning out to have feet of clay;

* their players knowing that Carroll and Wooden would "kill" for them to any outside detractors especially those who would take cheap shots;

* and, finally, their players knowing that Carroll and Wooden would also "kill" them if they did anything less than they were capable of or dishonored the fact that the team was more important than them.
