I am not what I ought to be, Not what I want to be, Not what I am going to be, But I am thankful that I am better than I used to be. - John Wooden

Whether in basketball or business, you must be able to perform all aspects of your job, not just part of it. You must be able to “get open” and “shoot.” One without the other makes you a partial performer, someone who can be replaced because your skills are incomplete.

Never believe you’re better than anybody else, but remember that you’re just as good as everybody else.

There are no big things, only an accumulation of many little things. Remove enough rivets and the wing falls off. However, it is up to you, the leader, to identify the correct rivets and determine how much attention each will be given. Do this correctly and your organization will survive flying through even the most turbulent competitive storm.
