Several particularly resonated:
1) Set high standards. Believe your team will meet them.
2) Reasonable people will draw different conclusions without a shared picture of excellence. (Making a team is not enough...chasing excellence is a shared vision)
3) Small feedback given regularly is coaching. (Coaching is not criticism. Coaches mentor players and teams to translate process into excellence.)
4) Subtracting is 10x harder than adding. Which is what makes it 10x more valuable. (Do more of what works and less of what doesn't).
5) Your culture is the sum of everything you celebrate minus everything you tolerate. (What we tolerate sets the floor of achievement.)
6) Trust people with the truth. (Coaching advances players and teams toward the truth.)
7) Your team will mimic your actions before they follow your words. ("Your actions speak so loudly I cannot hear a word you say.")
8) It's not real unless it's written down. (Be clear and concise. Share.)
