Develop an eclectic philosophy, borrowing the best ideas from anywhere. Buying into them might be life changing. Here are some from Team Building Strategies of Steve Kerr:
"Run six or eight things really well, instead of 20 things in a mediocre fashion."
"Write down everything. Everything you've learned, everything you want to do. Everything you'd change. It'll organize your thoughts. Develop your philosophy."
"How much extra work are you putting into learning about your craft?"
"What are the core values of your organization?"
"One of the top priorities of any leader is to get everyone to buy into a set of core values."
"Do you understand that you can take your craft seriously and still have perspective?"
"Working to create a strong team not only makes the team better, it also makes you better."
"...he really cherished the couple voices he had around him that would keep it straight with him, no matter how big his name got."
"Good ideas can come from anywhere. Don't let your ego prevent you from getting advice or counsel from others."
