“Coaches have to watch for what they don't want to see and listen to what they don't want to hear.”
John Madden
“Those who want to hear from you will let you hear from them.”
“A good manager doesn't try to eliminate conflict; he tries to keep it from wasting the energies of his people. If you're the boss and your people fight you openly when they think that you are wrong - that's healthy.”
Robert Townsend
“The manager of a team is like a stagecoach, he can't move unless he has the horses.”
Pete Rose
“If the person you are talking to doesn't appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear.”
Winnie the Pooh
“In my 12 years of coaching, I don't think I've ever coached a kid that's easier to coach. He listens, works hard and does what you ask him to do.”
Chad Bankston
“Before you speak, listen.Before you write, think.Before you spend, earn.Before you invest, investigate.Before you criticize, wait.Before you pray, forgive.Before you quit, try.Before you retire, save.Before you die, give.”
William Arthur Ward
