Reminds me of Coach Spurrier's UF resignation presser where he noted that they'd never won 10 games before he arrived, and now that they were "only" winning 10, fans were upset.

Sometimes failure is necessary for progress: fifteen years ago today I was fired by the Bucs, the end of my dream to be a GM. I think I knew it wasn't the right dream for me, but needed the kick to put me on another path.

I thought the prior versions (paperback and leather) were excellent. Now, after 8 years and 500k copies in print, I received the new gold-gilded hardcovers in today's mail. (It may not be real gold - still testing.)

As leaders, we will be known by 3 things:
1) Our words (are they backed by action?);
2) Our faith (everyone believes in something);
3) Our hearts (do we care about others?).
Make sure they are worth following.
