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.

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
Image
Team spirit means you are willing to sacrifice personal considerations for the welfare of all. That defines a team player.
John Wooden
Image
It matters not the subject taught, nor all the books on all the shelves, What matters most, yes most of all, is what the teachers are themselves.
John Wooden
Image
Show me what you can do don't tell me what you can do.

Be prepared and be honest.
John Wooden
Image
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.
