I think leadership is never singular. In a good organization, it's plural.
Never delegate. Always empower.
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
You should do things because of what your expectations are of yourself.
Play and practice like you are trying to make the team.
That's why basketball was so good, because I didn't really need you or anyone else to play it. It would be better if we played four-on-four or five-on-five, but I could go out there alone.
