Lead Like Butler: Six Principles for Values-based Leaders
She walked off, never knowing that the head basketball coach and his wife had served her food and answered her questions. Brad later relayed this story to his team and reminded them not to think too highly of themselves. Some of their fans are more interested in the bulldog mascot than in the players on the team! Many head coaches simply show up at their basketball camps to say a few words of welcome.
Coach Stevens and his wife put on an apron and serve. Their simple act speaks loudly to the Butler players and the young camp participants.

When players see their head coach behind the counter serving food, they receive an important message: no task is too demeaning or unimportant when it makes a contribution to the well-being of others. The players who make it on the Butler basketball team have all been high school basketball stars and have received various awards for their outstanding athletic abilities.

They often come to college with a fairly high opinion of their ability and talent. When players have a high opinion of their existing abilities, it is often difficult to teach them a new system for playing basketball. If they are overfilled with pride in their own abilities, they may be resistant to learning a new role on a new team.
Humble people, however, are teachable people who realize that there is always more for them to learn. They are open and willing to learn new skills in the game of basketball. They are willing to acknowledge they can grow and increase in their basketball skills as well as in their life skills. In every field of life, those who are filled with pride and arrogance are usually not open to new learning because they believe they know all there is to know about their area of work.
Truly great people are those who are humble enough to be open to new growth and learning in their lives. Genuine humility has been defined as realizing at the core of our being that we are not superior to anyone else and that we are not inferior to anyone else. Externally, we have differing abilities and talents, but as persons created in the image of God, we are all of equal value in the sight of God. When asked how these principles became such a significant part of the Butler athletic program, Coach Stevens refers to Butler's athletic director, Barry Collier.
After graduation he played basketball at Miami Dade, where he received a two-year Associate of Arts degree. Collier then transferred to Butler University, located in Indianapolis, Indiana, because he was deeply impressed with Hinkle Fieldhouse, Butler's huge basketball arena, and the importance of basketball in the Hoosier state. He played two years as center and forward at Butler on teams that were not particularly outstanding.
After graduation, Collier received his M. In , Collier returned to Butler University as the men's head basketball coach and served for eleven years. The first two years as head coach were disappointing for Coach Collier.

In his first year, the team won six games and lost twenty-two. The second year was not much better. Coach Collier and his team were very discouraged. Coach Bennett had been exceedingly successful as a basketball coach, and Collier hoped that he would learn some basketball strategies and secrets to help him improve his team.

They talked about the underlying principles and values that coaches had to demonstrate and young players had to learn if they were to be successful on the basketball court and in life. It was from Coach Bennett that Collier learned the values of humility, passion, unity, servanthood, and thankfulness. These were principles that had guided Bennett as a coach for decades—from his earliest days teaching in public high schools on through to leading the University of Wisconsin to four appearances in the NCAA tournament. He coached the team to the Final Four in These virtues became the foundation of The Butler Way, even as they had proven to be a winning formula years earlier at different schools.
Inspiration for these virtues to become guiding principles in coaching began early for Bennett, when he was coaching at a high school in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. A former player had returned to the school in the mids to finish his training in graduate school.

He then volunteered for Bennett and Bennett observed that the young man had a profound sense of peace about him, so profound that Bennett was compelled to ask where it came from. Then, in a quiet way he just talked about his Christian faith and how it had sustained him in good times and in bad times.
From that point on, Bennett's faith took on a new dimension, as did his coaching. Bennett had grown up Catholic in Pittsburgh, one of four boys in an Italian-American family. Mom stayed home with the kids. Dad worked in steel mills and later in a factory that made fire engines. Faith and hard work had long been cornerstones of life, he recalled. However, with a newfound connection between the two, Bennett soared as a coach. All of the schools were public universities where outward expression of religious values was not appropriate.
Yet Bennett found a way through values-based coaching to live his faith. Like Bennett, Coach Collier was a devoted follower of Jesus Christ and he realized that all the five values were based in the Scriptures. He compiled a list of verses supporting each of these values, which to this day he carries on a laminated slip of paper in his pocket.
Coach Collier returned to Butler University inspired to teach these values to his team. His goal shifted from just winning games to developing character among the Butler players. He carries this list:. Run in such a way to get the prize. As Collier taught the five principles to his team, the Butler program turned around.
During the next nine years of coaching, Collier's team had a winning season every year. The Bulldogs made it to the NCAA postseason tournament for the first time in thirty-four years and ended up with invitations to six postseason tournaments during his nine-year coaching stretch. A high-quality basketball program was under way at Butler.
Collier credits the program's turnaround to the mentoring of Coach Dick Bennett, which helped him rediscover and put into practice principles and values that had earlier been articulated by legendary coach Tony Hinkle at Butler. Later, Coach Collier became head coach at the University of Nebraska for six years, then returned to Butler University as the athletic director, in In , as athletic director, Coach Collier made the risky decision to hire a thirty-year-old Butler assistant coach named Brad Stevens as head coach of the Butler men's basketball team. Sports reporters and alumni around the nation questioned the wisdom of Collier's decision.
Most had never heard of his hire. Some felt that Butler could have pursued a nationally known coach with much more coaching experience and significantly improved their chances of developing a first-rate team. But Collier hired Brad Stevens. Brad Stevens was born on October 22, , and grew up in Zionsville, Indiana, a suburb of Indianapolis.
In , Butler University made history as the first team to make it to two consecutive finals of the NCAA basketball tournament without being seeded 1 or 2. As the smallest school to play in the championship game in the year history of the tournament, Butler became the quintessential "Cinderella" team. How did this little-known Midwest university achieve what few schools have ever done by making it to the final championship game two years in a row.
Much of the attention is focused on head coach and team leader Brad Stevens, who was only 33 years old at the time of the tournament. Often mistaken for one of the players, Stevens coaches according to a set of six values-based principles broadly known as the Butler Way - Humility, Passion, Unity, Service, Thankfulness, and Accountability.
