Additional quotes by John Wooden

I prize intensity and fear emotionalism. Consistency in high performance and production is a trademark of effective and successful organizations and those who lead them. Emotionalism destroys consistency. A leader who is ruled by emotions, whose temperament is mercurial, produces a team whose trademark is the roller coaster — ups and downs in performance; unpredictability and un-dependability in effort and concentration; one day good, the next day bad.
