Ok, so this is one of my favorite, as well as one of the most challenging chapters. I'm going to put the quote and the question together again this week...
"The hallmark of successful leadership is consistently maximum performance. Emotionalism opens a leader to inconsistency. Seek intensity coupled with emotional discipline." (p. 109) Coach Wooden later goes on to say, "I insisted on that same control and intensity during practice - especially practice." (p. 113)
As leaders those around you will look to and follow your example. Whether your path is smooth or littered with seemingly insurmountable obstacles strive to maintain a consistent and controlled intensity and perform at the highest level you are capable of.
Question... We all have been on or know of teams that have won games they should have lost and teams that have lost games they should have won... what would you say is the usually the cause of this let down and how can it be avoided?
Strive for excellence... Always
Chris
