Is this a serious statement? I don't think it is a serious statement, but...
To slightly take the edge off ..... this line of thinking should NOT be swept under the rug….
To be fair to you, I didn’t sweep this thought under the rug. I immediately threw it in the trash and dumped it outside. That’s where the idea of clearing out the front office and coaching staff following the disappointing loss last week rates. It’s asinine. It’s knee jerk, emotional ranting. It’s what loser teams like Miami, Jacksonville and Houston do.
I’m still not convinced you’re not just trolling for a reaction. For your sake, I hope you are.

Complacency-The Poison of Excellence
When addressing his players, Vince Lombardi, the legendary Hall of Fame Football Coach of the Green Bay Packers once said, “Gentlemen, we will chase perfection, and we will chase it relentlessly, knowing all the while we can never attain it. But along the way, we shall catch excellence.”
Excellence is a destination. A destination that we must continually pursue.
You know a culture of excellence when you see it!
Thriving in a culture of excellence requires thought, organization, and intense preparation. Once again, pulling from my coaching background, one must continually prepare to compete. This competition is very personal and can best be summarized in the concept that with every activity one does, that activity is designed to make you better. You will be better today than you were yesterday. There are no shortcuts. The pursuit of excellence will be quickly derailed when one decides to take shortcuts. Shortcuts ensure that everyone gets shortchanged!
......... Nick Saban stated, and I paraphrase, that complacency is the biggest obstacle to excellence. To me, this statement is true. It applies to the classroom, school building, district, corporate office, or athletic field.
A recent article in Forbes can help serve as a guide and resource for leaders. The article discusses signs that employees are becoming complacent. The signs of complacency are listed below:
Disengaged-Is your staff focused?
Stop Thinking-Has your staff stopped asking questions and challenging themselves?
Stop Taking Initiative-Has your staff stopped taking leadership roles on initiatives? Are they disconnected to others?
Don’t Invest in Themselves-Has you staff stopped caring about personal achievement?
Taking Shortcuts-Has your staff stopped paying attention to detail?
Do Not Take Risks-Is your staff afraid to take any sort of educational risk?
Lost Their Passion-Has your staff lost their personal enthusiasm and excitement for their jobs?
Not Managing Personal Brand-Has your staff forgotten what is important to each person?
Disgruntled with Career Path- Is your staff unhappy with the way their career has worked out?
Lost Any Hope for a Brighter Future- Has your staff given up? The challenge now becomes how one can re-claim this person. They must somehow be mentored and guided to re-start their career. A distinct challenge to your leadership skills.
Today’s message was about complacency. .......... Before long, especially in an unhealthy culture, you could become satisfactory, average or mediocre and you might be comfortable with that. Great teachers, great principals, and great leaders never accept mediocrity and have a way of combating this plague and overcoming it. This cancer must be sent into remission. You must persevere and maintain your journey to excellence. It is hard work ...........
a quality slot receiver might have gotten Rodgers attention, but who knows since he wouldn't look elsewhere most of the game with Adams.
