I believe it was Brendan Rogers who said he imagines every player displaying an invisible tattoo on their forehead with an inscription that reads “Help me feel great”… Help me feel great! For me, leadership is simple to define but devilishly difficult to accomplish. Leadership is about influence - to influence hearts and minds. To influence thoughts and feelings. To influence cerebrally and emotionally. To influence the individual and the team. Simple but difficult… “Help me feel great” requires a leader to communicate in a manner that evokes helpful thoughts, emotions, and feelings… These can be evoked through behaviour, just like Jurgen Klopp is striving to do here (with thousands of people). Body language, gestures, actions…even in corporate environments leadership attitude will shift and shape the internal of the people you lead. And of course, they can be evoked through what you say. Positivity, optimism, constructive criticism, safety, support, empathy, tough love, encouragement, appropriate demands…few of many forms of verbal persuasion. Help me feel great! Leadership is influence. Simple yet difficult. Always present and always pertinent…

Really appreciate Megan Rapinoe ensuring a president didn’t call and congratulate her championship team by airmailing this penalty kick — wide right, no less — to lose as a heavy favorite in the 2023 women’s World Cup.

Megan Rapinoe is a bouncer now. 🙄 Decides Trump and Kash Patel can't come in the locker room.

We live in a country where you can win Gold for China and end up on the cover of Time magazine but win Gold for US and have your own press turn on you.

The Signal/Wikipedia/NPR class believe it’s okay to lie as long as it’s in service of what they consider to be “the greater good.” These are the people who want a monopoly on education, speech, and knowledge. “Our reverence for the truth might have become a distraction.”
