It's incredible how one person can change the entire destiny of a group of people.

Take, for instance, Tom Brady. Two years ago moved everything that he'd ever known in football to a brand new city, team, and culture.

Mike Evans, Tom Brady's teammate, and his eventual go-to wide receiver, said, "When he came to this team, I knew he was going to change the franchise. He's done that and then some.

Brady turned around an abysmal culture and won a Super Bowl in his first year.

How does that happen?

It's leadership. One person willing to lead the people involved in making the changes needed to become successful.

Last night was another great example. Matt Stafford, who many people did not believe could perform under the big lights, won a Super Bowl in his first year with the Rams.

Stafford's struggles forged who he became as a leader when he came to the Rams. But, unlike Brady, he didn't show up with rings.

What he did show up with is humility, desire, and a willingness to lead and sacrifice for his team. He and a few other leaders provided all the culture it needed to become a super bowl champion.

Leaders can come from all different places. Their focus, humility, work-ethic, and willingness to lead by example are what separate them from everyone else.

They set the standards, the team buys into who they are and begins to follow suit.

Ultimately this defines anyone's leadership. It's a leader's greatest challenge--creating positive change!
