Leaders must have patience for those under your supervision. Don't expect too much too soon. Maybe it was easy for you, but that doesn't mean it's going to be easy for somebody else. Be sure you have patience.
John Wooden

More quotes by John Wooden
The courageous struggle for a noble cause should be considered success itself.
John Wooden
Our titles would not have been possible without the unselfishness displayed by all our teams, the team wins, not the individuals
John Wooden
The close games are usually lost, rather than won. What I mean by that is games are mostly won because of the opponent making mistakes during crucial moments.
John Wooden
All of life is peaks and valleys. Don't let the peaks get too high and the valleys too low.
John Wooden
Be observing constantly. Stay open-minded. Be eager to learn and improve.
John Wooden
You get ideas across better through listening and the pat-on-the-back method than you do with a kick on the pants.
John Wooden
Not everyone is equipped to be a leader, but in a sense, everyone is a leader to someone, even though you're not equipped. I think parents are a leader to youngsters, teacher are leaders, coaches are leaders, businessmen are leaders.
John Wooden
Never allow anyone else to define your success.
John Wooden
People ask me if I'd permit fancy things, like dunks. Well, if they did dunk, it was with no fancy flair. No behind-the-back dribbles or passes unless necessary. If it was for show, you were on the bench.
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.
John Wooden
Happiness begins where selfishness ends.
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
You cannot antagonize and be a positive influence, and you will antagonize when you discipline through emotion.
John Wooden
I never yelled at my players much. That would have been artificial stimulation, which doesn't last very long. I think it's like love and passion. Passion won't last as long as love. When you are dependent on passion, you need more and more of it to make it work. It's the same with yelling.
John Wooden
Selfishness is the greatest challenge for a coach. Most players are more concerned with making themselves better than the team.
John Wooden
I worry that business leaders are more interested in material gain than they are in having the patience to build up a strong organization, and a strong organization starts with caring for their people.
John Wooden
Seek opportunities to show you care. The smallest gestures often make the biggest difference.
John Wooden
Being your best when your best is needed. The ability to enjoy challenges when things become difficult and to derive exhilaration from them.
John Wooden
The true athlete should have character, not be a character
John Wooden
There's as much crookedness as you want to find. There was something Abraham Lincoln said - he'd rather trust and be disappointed than distrust and be miserable all the time. Maybe I trusted too much.
John Wooden
