COACH WOODEN'S MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION

I was a poor leader when I started because I had all the answers. Improvement came in direct proportion to my willingness to ask the questions.

Here's the most important question I asked: How can I help our team improve? When I thought of something, I did it. Simple as that.

An effective leader keeps asking that question because there's always something more you can do -- always room for improvement. Always.

From "The Essential Wooden" by John Wooden and Steven Jamison
