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.

More quotes by John Wooden
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation.
John Wooden
It's the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen.
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
Don't get discouraged: it is often the last key in the bunch that opens the lock. Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there.
John Wooden
A life not lived for others is not a life, a game not played for others is not a game.
John Wooden
Be quick but do not hurry.
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
Just do the best you can. No one can do more than that.
John Wooden
It is difficult for young players to learn - because of the great emphasis on records - but, ideally, the joy and frustration of sport should come from the performance itself, not the score. While he is playing, the worst thing a player can think about in terms of concentration - and therefore of success - is losing. The next worst is winning.
John Wooden
When you choose to become part of a team, you cease to exist as an individual.
John Wooden
You control the terms of the conflict. Make them play your game. Don't try to play theirs.
John Wooden
You have to apply yourself each day to becoming a little better. By becoming a little better each and every day, over a period of time, you will become a lot better.
John Wooden
Remember this your lifetime through: Tomorrow there will be more to do. And failure waits for all who stay With some success made yesterday. Tomorrow you must try once more, And even harder than before.
John Wooden
I'm not afraid to die.
John Wooden
I also wanted my basketball players to know that I really cared about them. Forget basketball as a person, I cared, I cared about their family.
John Wooden
Why do we dread adversity when we know that facing it is the only way to become stronger, smarter, better?
John Wooden
Winning games, titles and championships isn't all it's cracked up to be, but getting there, the journey, is a lot more than it's cracked up to be.
John Wooden
Every person under your supervision is different. They're all different. They're identical in most ways, but not in all ways. You have to study and analyze every individual under your supervision and try to work with them in a way that will be most productive.
John Wooden
Make each day a masterpiece.
John Wooden
No individual should take the blame for a loss, because no individual should get the credit for a victory.
John Wooden
