The coaches I hate—that I had a visceral reaction to—were the guys who told me, ‘You’re doing a great job.’ … And allowing me to be as mediocre as mediocre could be,” Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett said. “None of us need help being mediocre—especially me. Coach my ass! … You been to the Pro Bowl eight times? You’re getting your ass coached. You just got here 15 minutes ago? You’re getting your ass coached. First-round picks, free agents who signed for nothing—everybody’s getting coached.
Great managers/coaches don’t phone it in — they coach everyone on their team. Doesn’t matter if they are the superstar salesguy, your right hand woman on product, or the green newbie just out of college. Don’t be that guy/gal who allows their people to be mediocre. Remember, they really want their asses coached.
As always, great stuff from Peter King.
