21 " Are you failing in sales? Are you not able to meet your targets on a regular basis? Do you easily get tired of trying? Do you want to be better than your team members? Don't worry! Try our magic potion: Add some drops of Focus (follow successful team members), some drops of listening (listen properly to customers), some drops of learning (be open to suggestions) & some drops of confidence, now mix it with a never-give-up approach, & finally garnish it with a pinch of confidence. Remember this potion works only if taken with a dose of belief. "
22 " For a batsman or a bowler, the job never ends at just batting & bowling, it continues with switching the positions in time of need, the stand out players never limit themselves to their primary role but change their style of play as per the happenings in the game. Anyone can hold a bat or ball in their hand, only thing matters is how well you use these things to make your team win. Similarly, as a Salesperson - your job is not only to think as a salesperson, but also as a client, and sometimes also to make an unfavorable situation favorable by planting an idea in a client's mind & creating a need. "
23 " In college football, fans wallow in a culture of failure. Unless you root for Miami, you sadly wait for disaster to strike your team in a manner not seen outside of Fenway Park. "
24 " The way you build trust with your team is around super-clear communication in that instant when they say, 'I will be sad if you don't do X.' You have to say, 'We're not going to do X, and here's why, and believe me, you'll be much sadder later if I let you go do it and you spend a bunch of time on it and nothing ever happens.' "
25 " Football is football and talent is talent. But the mindset of your team makes all the difference. "
26 " I think that from the time you start playing sports as a child you see that your responsibility to your team is to play the best that you can play as an individual... and yet, not take anything away from being part of a team. "
27 " The lessons I learned from the dark days at Alibaba are that you've got to make your team have value, innovation, and vision. Also, if you don't give up, you still have a chance. And, when you are small, you have to be very focused and rely on your brain, not your strength. "
28 " Deeper fulfilment is rather different from the happiness of seeing a good film or watching your team win at football, and it doesn't come at the push of a button. "
29 " To be successful in coaching you have to treat your team like a family. The leader needs backing from everyone. "
30 " Ultimately, leadership is not about glorious crowning acts. It's about keeping your team focused on a goal and motivated to do their best to achieve it, especially when the stakes are high and the consequences really matter. It is about laying the groundwork for others' success, and then standing back and letting them shine. "
31 " You don't hire for mediocrity. Instead, you bring people onto your team because you know that they'll make a valuable contribution and turn in amazing work. But, in order to have that expectation, you need to make sure you're fostering an environment that allows them to do so. "
32 " A closing team is so important in the NBA. The last seven minutes is what you are always coaching to get to. Now you have your team set, you have the match-ups you want, you have your time-outs, your chance to finish the game, and that's my job, to get us to that position during the course of the game. "
33 " The biggest thing, I think, is to stay healthy and make the fewest mistakes, and then you can win... The margin of error is so small in the NFL, so if you can do those two things - keep your team healthy and make the fewest mistakes each Sunday - you have a good chance of going to the Super Bowl. "
34 " I could always score goals. I loved that feeling of having your team look to you, that feeling of leadership. "
35 " If you don't have a VP Finance on your team reporting to you, do yourself, your team, and your investors a favor and go hire one right now. "
