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.

Losing does not make you a failure it is when you blame someone for losing when you become a failure
John Wooden

Work without joy is drudgery. Drudgery does not produce champions, nor does it produce great organizations.

If there's anything you could point out where I was a little different, it was the fact that I never mentioned winning.
John Wooden
Image
Loyalty is very important when things get a little tough, as they often do when the challenge is great. Loyalty is a powerful force in producing one's individual best and more so in producing a team's best.

Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.
