Writing about obvious negative situations and why they are toxic is not fun. The negativity bandwagon is the low-hanging fruit we humans indulge in because it’s easier than processing our negative emotions and dedicating energy to a positive solution. Since the miraculous Hail Mary that sent the Chicago Bears home from Landover, Maryland with another tally in the L column, taking the easy route is exactly how the Chicago Bears have dealt with that negativity.
Leadership Develops Over Time
People often talk about born leaders. This refers to individuals who demonstrate great poise, charisma, and decision-making when it matters most. People sometimes think that an individual who possesses those qualities must have been born that way, born to lead. In reality, not one person is born as a leader. People might be born into a leadership situation such as royal families, or the children of parents in strong leadership roles. Some kids are trained in leadership skills and exposed to leadership qualities from a very young age, which can sometimes hinder more than help.
The best leaders are the most relatable—those who can show some levity in precarious situations. The people who can go through some obstacles and come out better on the other side are the ones who others naturally gravitate toward. One must develop those skills through real experiences, situations, and most of all – failures. Great strife always brings with it an opportunity to overcome adversity. There lies the key to leadership. Great leaders must go through some pretty hard times and find a way to navigate through them to learn what it takes to lead others through similar situations in the future.
Chicago Bears Need Patience
In the case of the Chicago Bears, maybe these are the hard times they are going through to develop better leadership and learn from it. Maybe, it’s an ego check for some elder statesmen on the coaching staff and in the front office. Maybe, it’s the growing pains of trying to change the culture of a franchise from the ground up. The important questions are: will the players, coaches, and executives be able to recognize the learning opportunities in front of them? Will they be able to band together to learn from them collectively before getting fired or having people within the organization turn on them?
Conclusion: Leaders and Trust
The Chicago Bears need players to emerge as leaders on this team. They need a steadying force to help them hold the ship upright when the waters get turbulent. The Chicago Bears coaching staff needs to empower those leaders with decision-making capabilities on the field and not hamstring them with mistrust, vindictive actions, or narcissism. Let the players police themselves if strong leaders come forth. The coaches have lost the locker room and need to earn back the trust of their players. The Chicago Bears’ players need to be open to accepting that trust. Build it in practice and meetings and translate it into wins on the field.
