The quarterback is in charge of the chuck wagon. He’s handing it out here and there, but he can’t just throw it out there indiscriminately or the wolves will get him.
I spent a lot of time with my teams, especially in the East Coast teams, talking about dealing with the elements a lot of time, and a lot of instruction about field position and those kind of things. I like that variable.
In the end, I’ve found, people like the direct approach. It’s much more valuable to them to have a leader who’s absolutely clear and open than to have one who soft-soaps or talks in circles.
