“If someone says your name and it makes someone else smile, that's a good legacy to leave.” - Coach Roy Williams #ThoughtOfTheDay

John Wooden said, "Don't whine. Don't complain. Don't make excuses." "Get out there and whatever you're doing do it to the best of your ability." You can't control everything - But you can control how you show up. Attitude. Effort. Ownership. That's leadership.

Most people fail to master skills because they chase perfection instead of just getting the reps.

Shoutout to the truly kind people. Not the ones who are kind when it benefits them. Not the ones who are kind because someone is watching. But the ones who are kind because it’s who they are. This kind of kindness isn’t a strategy — it’s a way of life.
It’s steady.
It’s consistent.
It’s authentic. So here’s to the people who show up with kindness on the hard days, to the ones who treat every person like they matter, and to those who understand that how you treat people is the real scoreboard that counts.

“The best leaders understand that if you want to get the best out of another human, focus on their strengths and manage their weaknesses.” @mwbuckingham Listen to Episode 164 of The Global Leadership Podcast on streaming platforms and at globalleadership.org/glpodcast! “Love” and “work” are not words that are usually thought of in the same context. For today’s guest, however, “love” has a measurable and positive impact on the metrics of work. Marcus Buckingham is known for starting the “Strengths Revolution.” He is also a global researcher and New York Times bestselling author, and he recently joined the GLN’s David Ashcraft for a conversation about the role that love plays—or should play—in our work. Whether you are a leader who wants to know how to bring the absolute best out of those you lead, or you are curious how to discover the things you truly love (and why they matter at work), we invite you to listen to this episode. #GLN #GLS25 #Leadership #MarcusBuckingham

Huge teaching point! Never assume! "It's not what you tell your players that counts. It's what they hear." -Red Auerbach
