More quotes by 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.

John Wooden
What it comes down to, I believe, is that mentoring often involves telling people what they need to hear, rather than what they want to hear. When you are able to be humbly honest with someone about a situation with which you have personal experience-even if you risk angering or hurting that person-you are offering the most valuable gift of all.
John Wooden
You cannot antagonize and be a positive influence, and you will antagonize when you discipline through emotion.
John Wooden
