Do you have a "Tim Tebow" fourth quarter move?

As we are right in the middle of the fourth quarter of 2011, it seems most employees are skeptical.  They are skeptical about their jobs, their companies, their place in the organization and their leaders abilities to take their teams to a successful conclusion to 2011 and set them up for a "winning" 2012.

Great leaders have a skill set they can rely on, and a team that knows what those skills are and where the support is needed to surround the leader and bring the whole organization success.  However, many leaders are covert in letting the team know where they may need help.

Here's the thing:  No one knows everything, no one is good at everything, no one great has ever achieved success alone.

Take Tim Tebow, not only was/ is his team skeptical, the whole Colorado community has been skeptical of his ability to create wins.  We know what his skill set is (he is a fabulous running back who happens to play quarterback), and he can throw.. and will continue to get better.  His team knows this and is supporting him in doing what it is he does well and allowing him to grow in other areas.  And, as of late, he has been winning.

Does your team know where your brilliance lies?  Do they know where they can use their talents to help the organization succeed.  Do you?  And even more, do you have a fourth quarter move that if you shared that with your team now, it would take you over the top before the end of 2011?  It may be time to make your move, and trust your team to have your back to get it done.
