Robert Brezinashares a leadership lesson he learned from one of his mentors.
One thing Ilearned (and experienced) from Coach Lombardi is as the leader you have to knowyour people really well. As I watched Vince work with his players (principals,your players are your teachers) he would know them so well that he could pusheach one of them to within the razor’s edge of his breaking point.  Then when he got you to that point, hebacked off. But through that process you had grown a good percentage and hewould work with you to sustain that growth.  Then a few weeks later, he would begin the push again.  This process never stopped.
Obviously, thisworked very well for him. The better you know your people the further you cantake them.  But you have to put inthe time; there are no short cuts to this.
SC ResponseYou won’t find mearguing with the leadership practices of the man they have named two trophiesafter.  One made entirely ofgranite and the one that is the most prized trophy in all of sport.
Think. Work. Achieve.
