of talent left, and could say, ‘I used everything
You gave me.”
“Savor the taste of your triumphs today, don’t
just swallow them all whole without digesting
what is actually happening here. Look down
over what you conquered and appreciate what
God has brought you through.”
“When you are deciding on the next steps, next
jobs, next careers, further education, you

Who Knew Something About Performance:
John Lewis
“Do not get lost in a sea of
despair. Be hopeful, be
optimistic. Our struggle is
not the struggle of a day, a

is the struggle of a lifetime.
Never, ever be afraid to
make some noise and get in
good trouble, necessary
trouble."

7. Some Leadership Lessons from A Person
Who Knew Something About Performance:
Vince Lombardi
“When management fails, it
reflects a lack of leadership. All of
you possess leadership ability. But
leadership rests not only on
outstanding ability. It also rests on
commitment, loyalty, and price. It
rests on followers who are ready
to accept guidance. Leadership is
the ability to direct people and—
more important—to have those
people accept that direction.” 7

Something About Performance:
General of the Army Douglas Macarthur
“A true leader has the
confidence to stand alone, the
courage to make tough
decisions, and the compassion
to listen to the needs of others.
He does not set out to be a
leader, but becomes one by
the equality of his actions and
the integrity of his intent.”

10. Some Leadership Lessons from People Who Know
Something About Performance:
Stacey Abrams
“We have the power to redraw the image
of leadership so we can see ourselves
reflected in its face.”
“Admitting mistakes is a fundamental skill
too few us learn. In part, this is because
we’ve been taught it’s wrong to be
wrong.”
“Effective leaders are able to say to the
person they want to impress most:
I don’t know." 10
11. Some Leadership Lessons from People Who
Know Something About Performance: Former
First Lady, Michelle Obama
“You have to practice success. Success
doesn’t just show up. If you aren’t
practicing success today, you won’t
wake up in 20 years and be successful,
because you won’t have developed the
habits of success, which are small
things like finishing what you start,
putting a lot of effort into everything
you do, being on time, treating people
well.”

work to change the world.”
“Where we are met with cynicism
and doubts and those who tell us
that we can’t, we will respond with
that timeless creed that sums up
the spirit of a people: Yes We Can.”
13. Some Leadership Lessons
from People Who Know
Something About
Performance:
President Barack Obama
“Making your mark on the world is
hard. If it were easy, everybody would
do it. But it’s not. It takes patience, it
takes commitment, and it comes with
plenty of failure along the way. The real
test is not whether you avoid this
failure, because you won’t. It’s whether
you let it harden or shame you into
inaction, or whether you learn from it;
whether you choose to persevere.”

14. Some Leadership Lessons from People Who Know
Something About Performance
“The conductor, a magical figure for the audience, enjoys a
leadership mystique of significant magnitude. It may seem
strange to the orchestral musician that the corporate world
would be interested in hearing a conductor’s views on
leadership or that the metaphor of the orchestra is so
frequently used in the literature of leadership, because, in
fact, the profession of conductor is one of the last bastions
of totalitarianism in the civilized world.”
“A monumental question for leaders in any organization to
consider is this: How much greatness are we willing to
grant people? Because it makes all the difference at every
level who it is we decide we are leading.”

“Don’t wish for someone else to
do later what you can do now.”

”

“I motivate others by making
sure that they understand to
go after their dreams and don’t
let anyone tell you can’t. If
you are motivated enough and
put the work in that you can
achieve anything in life that
you set your mind to.”
17. Some Leadership Lessons from
People Who Know Something
About Performance:
Jim Tunney, Former NFL Referee
“A common reason that goals aren’t
accomplished is that they are not clearly
defined. If employees don’t understand
their company’s goals and its game plan,
these goals won’t be achieved. Plenty of
organizations fail for that very reason.
Football doesn’t make this mistake. It’s
goals are always clearly defined. At the
end of the field it’s a goal line. Why do we
call it a goal line? Because eleven people
on the offensive team huddle for a single
purpose---to move the ball across it.
Everyone has a specific task to do—the
quarterback, the wide receiver, each
lineman. Every player knows exactly what
his assignment is. Even the defensive team
has it goals too—to prevent the offensive
team from achieving its goal.”

18. Some Leadership Lessons from A Person Who Knows Something
About Performance: Kenneth I. Chenault
Chairman and Managing Director of General Catalyst and
Former Chairman and CEO of American Express
”Many people don’t focus enough on execution. If
you make a commitment to get something done, you
need to follow through on that commitment.”
“Dedicate yourself to a core set of values. Without
them, you will never be able to lead effectively.”

“All employees are boss
watchers. The rank and file will
always take their cues from the
leader. It is therefore doubly
important that the leader live
the values he or she espouses.”

21. Some Leadership Lessons from A Person
Who Knows Something About
Performance: Bill Russell
“Make sure the team is part of
the process. Help your
business team or family or
basketball team understand
not only what’s going to
happen, but also the whys and
the hows.”

22. Some Leadership Lessons from A
Person Who Knows Something
About Performance:
Jesus Christ
“Great leaders are great
storytellers. Jesus' stories have
certainly withstood the test of
time. His preferred storytelling
style was the parable. Stories are
richer, more powerful and
longer-lasting than directives or
instructions. Look at your own
life for stories that have relevant
messages for your team... we all
have them. Turn your stories into
coaching tools for future leaders
to build your leadership legacy.”

listening skills. We are to: avoid prejudicial
first impressions; become less self-centered;
withhold initial criticism; stay calm; listen
with empathy; be active listeners; clarify
what we hear; and recognize the healing
power of listening. Then we are to act on
what we hear”
― John C. Maxwell, Maxwell Leadership Bible,

As Michael Jordan observed, “There is no ‘I’ in team but there is in ‘win’. So “we’ should find the best practical solution to “our” challenges in a strategic alliance.

“Establish your business culture around your team. A business culture in its simplest form is nothing more than the environment in which decisions are made. All business cultures, all families, succeed or fail on the basis of the decisions they make. So the concept of team ego is a factor in getting individuals to see success not in terms of individual performance, but rather in getting more fulfillment from the group’s success.”
