Lead Like a Duck Floats

Posted by Michael Poll on February 6, 2009

Basketball Coach Bobby Knight’’s son also coaches basketball.  You may have seen him on TV recently.  He had multiple outbursts and the officials.  No chairs were thrown.

A duck, when faced with stress, paddles like crazy underneath but is smooth sailing on top…and keeps moving forward.  Leaders do get upset, understood.  Nobody wants to be yelled at, sworn at or berated.  Leaders know how to manage emotions, tempers and their communication.
