“The leader has to command the respect of all those under his supervision - and he must be open to those under his supervision. Effective leadership means having a lot of people working toward a common goal. And when you have that with no one caring who gets the credit, you're going to accomplish a lot. If you have those just wanting the credit for themselves, you're not going to get as much accomplished.”
-- John Wooden -

When the followers get something done, if the leader has been what he should, they'll feel like they did it, not him. That's the way it should be.”
-- John Wooden -
“It's what you learn after you know it all that counts.”
