On Playing Time. Solving problems, and Change.
Nov. 4 | The 3-Point Play
BASKETBALL TIP
Playing time is not determined by ability, but reliability.
Ability – what you can do.
Reliability – what you actually do.
Coaches play players they trust.
LEADERSHIP LESSON
“I can’t emphasize this leadership lesson enough, whether you’re trying to lead a sports team, a class of students, or a group of employees.
Someone, somewhere, could probably take your exact same set of circumstances and work wonders. Certainly all the people around the world in hospitals would love to give it a try.
This kind of thought is never far from me, as it should be with every would-be leader. You may not be able to do what you’re trying to do, but it probably is do-able. So it makes sense to stop complaining and learn to spend all of your time searching for solutions.”
— Dick DeVenzio, Runnin’ the Show
