Leaders And Leadership

(79 votes)   Leadership is getting players to believe in you. If you tell a teammate you're ready to play as tough as you're able to, you'd better go out there and do it. Players will see right through a phony. And they can tell when you're not giving it all you've got. Leadership is diving for a loose ball, getting the crowd involved, getting other players involved. It's being able to take it as well as dish it out. That's the only way you're going to get respect from the players.

(251 votes)   The chief executive who knows his strengths and weaknesses as a leader is likely to be far more effective than the one who remains blind to them.
