To give you a preview, the following are 25 Leadership Lessons From Ben Newman’s #1 Best-Selling Book Uncommon Leadership: 11 Ways The Greatest Leaders Lead. All quotes are from Newman unless otherwise stated.
- “When your mind is telling you that you’re done, that you’re exhausted, that you cannot possibly go any farther, you’re actually only 40% done.” – David Goggins
- “The way you do one thing is the way you do everything.”
- “Coach (Nick) Saban does not focus on results. Instead, he believes results are a direct product of process. Coach Saban didn’t invent ‘the process,’ but there’s a good chance he perfected it.”
- “There are two pains in life. There is the pain of discipline and the pain of disappointment. If you can handle the pain of discipline, then you’ll never have to deal with the pain of disappointment.” – Coach Saban
- “We do things right until we can’t do them wrong.” – Coach Saban
- “The higher you get in an organization, the more you must serve the people below you instead of having them serve you. You must serve their growth, their future, their careers, and their spirits, so they enjoy work and their lives. As a leader, the more you serve them, the more willing they will be to let you lead them.”
- “Growth comes from setbacks even more than it comes from achievements.”
- “The minutia of your challenge can spell the difference between winning or not… For those not willing to put in the work, the devil is in the details. For Coach (Chris) Klieman, the edge is in the details.”
- “Uncovering crucial details requires conscious thought on your part. It requires building a mindset of deeply held beliefs and principles tested over time and putting them to work for you. Drilling down to the details doesn’t only require thinking outside the box; it requires building a whole new box to store your thoughts and knowledge.”
- “Success comes from the work you put in during the ‘unseen’ hours. The ‘unseen hours’ are precisely what they sound like: it’s the work you put in when nobody else is watching.”
- “If you haven’t done the work, your coach will know, your teammates will know, the fans will know, opposing players will know, and worst of all, you’ll know it, too.”
- “Desire is the foundation of passion; passion is the foundation of mental toughness. Mental toughness is the foundation for developing a standard for yourself and the right standard, intelligently and diligently applied, creates success.”
- “You can’t lead others until you first learn to lead yourself. Learning from your setbacks is only part of the key to success. Making changes is the other.”
- “Nobody goes looking for adversity in their lives. However, sooner or later, adversity finds you. It is the nature of our existence. You can’t control when, how, or where, but you do have a choice on how you respond.”
- “When you embrace adversity, you are better able to beat adversity.”
- “You can’t always control the outcome, but you can control the process. In fact, it’s the only thing you can control.”
- “Today I will do what others won’t, so tomorrow I can accomplish what others can’t.” – Jerry Rice
- “I was always in search of the perfect game, and I never got it.” – Rice
- “You know what I never understood? How could somebody not give 100%, when it’s 100% their choice?” – Rice
- “There’s a wide chasm between good enough and being great.”
- “The only way you gain mental toughness is to do things you’re not happy doing. That’s where the most growth occurs.”
- “You become a leader when you are thrust into the spotlight by your accomplishments.”
- “My mother (Janet Fishman Newnan) taught me that our life’s circumstances are much less significant than our responses to them. It’s not how long you live; it’s how you live your life while you are here.”
- “Passive people are followers; fighters are leaders.”
- “You can only control elements of your life that God has given to you as part of your free will. If you are not living the way you want to live, you must change the way you think before changing the way you live. Indeed, what you do with the gift of free will is up to you.”
