Running a football team gets hectic and it's easy to become myopic about goals and strategies. But is always pays to listen to the ideas from assistant coaches. Take the time to hear different perspectives.
Here's one classic example of a leadership failure:
In the 1970's an engineer named Steve Sasson invented the first digital camera. Steve got a patent for the digital photography technology and took his new business model to his employer. His boss's response??? "Meh, not for us. Pass."
And who was Steve's employer??? Yep, that would be Kodak! Kodak had a 30 year head start on digital photography, failed to see a changing business model, and eventually went into bankruptcy.
....Make sure to carve out time during a busy schedule to listen to the ideas of assistant coaches.
