Friendships, along with love, make life worth living.
Mike Krzyzewski
In putting together your standards, remember that it is essential to involve your entire team. Standards are not rules issued by the boss they are a collective identity. Remember, standards are the things that you do all the time and the things for which you hold one another accountable.
Mike Krzyzewski
You should do things because of what your expectations are of yourself.

Talent is important. But the single most important ingredient after you get the talent is internal leadership.

I really believe that that's been ultimately important for us.
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
As a leader you can get sidetracked but you have to complete your mission
