Almost everything in leadership comes back to relationships.
Mike Krzyzewski
Every leader needs to remember that a healthy respect for authority takes time to develop. It’s like building trust. You don’t instantly have trust, it has to be earned.

Once you win a National Championship, how do you do that again? How do you get the passion to do that again? We won it again right away, the next year. A lot of it had to do with the fact that I didn't give myself an opportunity to enjoy the first one.
Mike Krzyzewski

Mike Krzyzewski
In our program, the truth is the basis of all we do. There is nothing more important than the truth because there's nothing more powerful than the truth. Consequently, on our team, we always tell each other the truth. We must be honest with one another. There is no other way.
Mike Krzyzewski
You can see and you can listen, but you have to have moments in which you feel.
Mike Krzyzewski
If you have talent with teamwork, you've got a chance to be a championship team.
Mike Krzyzewski
Sometimes it's not bad to hurt. Sometimes you don't want things until you get hurt. We got hurt today, let's see what we do.
Mike Krzyzewski
The team that trusts-their leader and each other-is more likely to be successful.
Mike Krzyzewski
Imagination has a great deal to do with winning.
Mike Krzyzewski
I have a plan of action, but the game is a game of adjustments.
Mike Krzyzewski
As teachers and coaches, we must remember that when mere winning is our only goal, we are doomed to disappointment and failure. But when our goal is to try to win, when our focus is on preparation and sacrifice and effort instead of on numbers on a scoreboard then we will never lose.
Mike Krzyzewski
