More quotes by Mike Krzyzewski
You should do things because of what your expectations are of yourself.
Mike Krzyzewski
Almost everything in leadership comes back to relationships.
Mike Krzyzewski
During critical periods, a leader is not allowed to feel sorry for himself, to be down, to be angry, or to be weak. Leaders must beat back these emotions
Mike Krzyzewski
Friendships, along with love, make life worth living.
Mike Krzyzewski
In leadership, there are no words more important than trust. In any organization, trust must be developed among every member of the team if success is going to be achieved
Mike Krzyzewski
Whatever a leader does now sets up what he does later. And there's always a later.
Mike Krzyzewski
The life expectancy of a team is about eight months. Then the next year, it's a whole new team.
Mike Krzyzewski
When you cleanse yourself of a big victory, you may open yourself up to the opportunity for an even bigger victory
Mike Krzyzewski
When you are speaking to your team after a game, never talk about the kid who was the star of the game. Talk about what your other players did to help the team win. Be sure to spread the wealth... Then have individual meetings with one to three players to praise and reinforce. Make sure you touch them.
Mike Krzyzewski
Talent is important. But the single most important ingredient after you get the talent is internal leadership. It's not the coaches as much as one single person or people on the team who set higher standards than that team would normally set for itself. I really believe that that's been ultimately important for us.
Mike Krzyzewski
Effective teamwork begins and ends with communication
Mike Krzyzewski
The thing I loved the most - and still love the most about teaching - is that you can connect with an individual or a group, and see that individual or group exceed their limits.
Mike Krzyzewski
Confidence shared is better than confidence only in yourself.
Mike Krzyzewski
I've tried to handle winning well, so that maybe we'll win again, but I've also tried to handle failure well. If those serve as good examples for teachers and kids, then I hope that would be a contribution I have made to sport. Not just basketball, but to sport.
Mike Krzyzewski
The truth is that many people set rules to keep from making decisions.
Mike Krzyzewski
The team that trusts-their leader and each other-is more likely to be successful.
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
There are five fundamental qualities that make every team great: communication, trust, collective responsibility, caring and pride. I like to think of each as a separate finger on the fist. Any one individually is important. But all of them together are unbeatable
Mike Krzyzewski
There are always those times when you're going to be down. It's how you step through it that makes you the person you are.
Mike Krzyzewski
Great rivalries don't have to be built on hatred. They're built on respect, on a respect for excellence.
Mike Krzyzewski
