You must learn how to hold a team together. You must lift some men up, calm others down, until finally they've got one heartbeat. Then you've got yourself a team.
In a crisis, don't hide behind anything or anybody. They're going to find you anyway.
If we'd beaten 'em, I wouldn't be going out.
Set goals - high goals for you and your organization. When your organization has a goal to shoot for, you create teamwork, people working for a common good.
Motivating people- the ingredient that separates winners from losers.
When you make a mistake, there are only three things you should ever do about it: 1. Admit it. 2. Learn from it, and 3. Don't repeat it.
