from the mentor leader by tony dungy

  • when you’re the leader, not everyone will be happy with your decision
  • start right where you are, with the people right around you, doing something as simple as engaging with them and talking
  • coach noll understood the importance of equipping players with a mind-set as well as w/ the tools they needed for the task ahead
  • if you want to develop mentor leadership, you must foster a culture that supports it
  • faith is the foundation and strength of the mentor leader
  • when you’re in a crisis, it’s too late to try to get people to follow you
  • if you’re called to do something, then sometimes, that is bigger than what we want to do
  • when you’re a teacher, you talk when you teach. you don’t talk during the test
  • every platform is important in God’s eyes. make the most of yours
  • don’t worry about your platform; focus on your impact
  • you stand where no one else stands. open your eyes and your heart and look for opportunities. 
  • nothing is more deflating to morale than to have a poor outcome pinned on someone who doesn’t deserve it
  • as long as you have breath, God’s purpose for your life is not yet finished. he has so much more for you to do.
