Heather’s Book on Leadership*, Chapter: Leadership Lessons from Sports, page 297:
“You win some,
you lose some,
and some get rained out,
but you gotta suit up for them all.”
~ J. Askenberg
Book
does not exist, but if it, it would have this chapter and another one
dedicated entirely what can be learned from Captain Jean-Luc Picard
(Yes, I know he has a leadership twitter account).
But THIS quote, I
used to think about when my faculty were beat up by students over and
over again. Students would push every button my faculty had, bringing
them to the edge. And the next day, I needed my faculty to get up and go
to work again. Suit up again. Those were the faculty I
hired. I hired 30 of them in my time.
The point here is to put the right person in the right job. The right person is the person who will get up and go to work the day after they’ve just had their worst day at work.
