Leadership Is Everywhere

There is much to be learned in athletics that can be implemented in business. Check out this great answer when Ryan Clark (Steeler's safety) was asked about the team captain, James Farrior (aka Potsie).

Q: What was Potsie (Farrior) like after having such a good game?

A: Well, you know Potsie’s always the same and I think that’s what keeps our defense the way it is. When you have a leader like him, he will give you the speech and things like that before the game but he’s never up or down. When we’re playing really well, he’s still honest about the team and its play. When we’re not playing as well as we usually do, he’s still there being Potsie.
