Having led a university athletic program for twenty-five years, I found that you never knew where the best idea would come from. So, it was very important that I let my coaches know that I knew I most certainly did not have all the answers. A good friend once told me, “None of us is smarter than all of us.” I tried to lead with that in mind and there were definitely times that the coaches came up with ideas, great ideas that we implementd, for our Department that I never would have thought of. I did find that humility worked best for me and that none of us, in fact, were smarter than all of us.
