Great leaders are always out front with a banner, instead of behind with a whip.
John Wooden
The true leader isn't really looking for leadership. He's trying to set an example and be in the proper way to get the most productive results and don't realize it. When the followers get something done, if the leader has been what he should, they'll feel like they did it, not him. That's the way it should be.
John Wooden
I talked to the players and tried to make them aware of what was good and bad, but I didn't try to run their lives.
John Wooden
Show me what you can do don't tell me what you can do.
John Wooden
With the experience to judge, one need not pre-judge.
John Wooden
