“There are lucky breaks and bad calls in any season, but the team with the best players usually does win. And that is why, very simply, you need to invest the vast majority of your time and energy as a leader in three activities:

* You have to evaluate — making sure the right people are in the right jobs, supporting and advancing those who are, and moving out those who are not.

* You have to coach — guiding, critiquing, and helping people to improve their performance in every way.

* And finally, you have to build self-confidence — pouring out encouragement, caring, and recognition. Self-confidence energizes, and it gives your people the courage to stretch, take risks, and achieve beyond their dreams. It is the fuel of winning teams.” – Jack Welch
