John Wooden

John Wooden

John Wooden

John Wooden
Ten strong horses could not pull an empty baby carriage if they worked independently of each other.

John Wooden
We can plan a roadtrip or a workday down to the last detail but the unexpected will always arise. If we are not malleable, we will get left behind.
John Wooden
Leadership is the ability to get individuals to work together for the common good and the best possible results while at the same time letting them know they did it themselves.
