The leader has to command the respect of all those under his supervision - and he must be open to those under his supervision. Effective leadership means having a lot of people working toward a common goal. And when you have that with no one caring who gets the credit, you're going to accomplish a lot. If you have those just wanting the credit for themselves, you're not going to get as much accomplished.

Although not every coach can win consistently with talent, no coach can win without it.

You may be better than the rest, but you are not a success until you have made the effort to become the best you can be.
