Leadership Is Not About Forcing Your Will

I Played Hockey In North Dakota Growing Up And Watch A Lot Of That.

And Yet As A Coach, I Know That Being Fixated On Winning (or More Likely, Not Losing) Is Counterproductive, Especially When It Causes You To Lose Control Of Your Emotions. What’s More, Obsessing About Winning Is A Loser’s Game: The Most We Can Hope For Is To Create The Best Possible Conditions For Success, Then Let Go Of The Outcome. The Ride Is A Lot More Fun That Way.

My Philosophy Is That You Can't Motivate Players With Speeches, You Have Motivated Players That You Draft. That's Where They Come In And Those Are The Guys That Are Competitive. You Cannot Teach Competitiveness.

Everybody Has An Opportunity To Play A Role, A Playmaking Role, So It Makes It Harder To Coach. It Takes A Little More Time.

You Have To Be Unique.
