Additional quotes by John Wooden
Team Spirit — an eagerness to sacrifice personal interests or glory for the welfare of all — is a tangible driving force that transforms individuals who are “doing their jobs correctly” into an organization whose members are totally committed to working at their highest levels for the good of the group. Members of such an organization are unselfish, considerate, and put the goals of the organization above their own, even at the expense of their own personal desires. When this happens — and the leader is the one who makes it happen — the result is almost magical.
