3. “In war, you don’t manage soldiers up a hill under fire. You
lead them.”
Leaders, as opposed to managers, don’t teach or preach
about their leadership; they simply lead.
Management deals with the present; leadership is about
the future.
True leaders have strategic vision, communicate effectively
with the team, inspire and motivate, display exemplary
character and solid competence, are tactfully aggressive
and love their troops.

Love is the soul of leadership
Choose to Love

27. “You forgive the unforgivable. You choose to say yes when
your emotions say no. You love regardless of political
differences, language differences, cultural differences,
religious differences or sexual orientation. It doesn’t mean you
don’t sometimes have to sever a connection. You have to
maintain discipline and enforce the rules. Sometimes the most
loving thing you can do for someone is to be firm and tough
in administering consequences for bad actions. But when you
choose to love your players, even when you have to cut a
player from the team, you can still love the player and seek
the best from him or her.”
