The ability to connect and influence people, that's the job of a leader. And we're all leaders at some level.
It doesn’t make sense to hire smart people and then tell them what to do. We hire smart people so they can tell us what to do.
It is very difficult in the transfer market for the teams that need to improve their squads.
Al Davis fires everybody.
Brazil's always had great players, both at home and abroad, but we need to put all that talent together and mould a team out of it.
It's part of the beauty of the job in dealing with this is you have to have a plan, and that's why you can't only train 11 players; you train your whole team.
At 17, I went to Stanford University to study engineering. My time was occupied with the required reading and the extracurricular duties of managing the baseball and football teams and earning my way.
I'm a football coach. I'm not a doctor ... They don't call plays, I don't do surgeries. We have a great deal here.
As for Seattle, we are rebuilding - no doubt about it. And in the WNBA, it's not easy to rebuild. You can't dangle millions in front of quality free agents.
I think management is about just that - managing people via man-to-man skills.
I think I'd like to be an owner of a Major League Baseball team.
I have already told Vermaelen to come to Napoli 10 times. The city is magnificent and even Benitez asked me to convince Vermaelen to come here.
I think what we've tried to preach to our players is we're going to let the best players play.
I don't care what sport you're talking about. What you see with great franchises is structure - a structure that doesn't just take you from year to year, but day to day.
He's pulling him off! The Spanish manager is pulling his captain off
At the end of the day, Coach Belichick does a great job of bringing in people he knows that will fit well.
I made Edgar Davids vice-captain. Nothing to do with colour, just because he was playing excellently and because he lives like an athlete.
Leadership is all about emotional intelligence. Management is taught, while leadership is experienced.
When a scout recommends a brilliant right back or a coach recommends one from our academy, we want the manager to weigh up what is right for the team.
I hesitate to direct even though I feel I contribute a lot on a set.
At the minor-league and major-league level, you know how important your coaching staff is, but in a big market it becomes absolutely huge.
Surround yourself with strong people, make sure they fully understand your principles, give them room to work, reward good performance and correct bad performance—and be sure they know you can tell the difference.
With a national team, you've just got to be even more focused on what's most important because the time you've got with the players is limited.
Our coach was absolutely out of his head. He must have read Bear Bryant's book. We had 78 players out. The first day 35 quit. Twenty quit the second day. We ended with 17 players. It was depressing.
I have really enjoyed the responsibility of leading the team and making the decisions out there.
