“Great leadership encompasses confidence, assertiveness and mutual respect. Great leaders take calculated risks and are innovative and confident in their decisions to do so. They realize that being timid will not get them where they want to go. This confidence and assertiveness will usually trickle down to the team members. The quality and effectiveness of a great leader will often show itself by way of the team’s effort as a whole. A coach’s confidence in the team can give team members added strength to do extraordinary things.”

“Leadership is like gravity. You know it’s there, you know it exists, but how do you define it?”
