Power Players like to be winners. They love to get the job done. The thing about winning though is that you need to put yourself in the best position for success.
You know the sports adage: winners always want the ball. And Power Players never run away when the ball comes their way.
You can always tell a failed Power Player: they run away when the ball is thrown in their direction. If you really want to graduate to Power Player, you’ve got to get in the game. And when that ball comes your way, you have to run with it and score the winning shot.
These are all cheesy sport metaphors, maybe: but they make an incredibly important point about being front and centre when the game is being played and the ball comes your way.
