Competing Through Compassion

"More than anything else, what allowed the Bulls to sustain a high level of excellence was the players' compassion for each other." -- Phil Jackson

Tomorrow's my kick-off meeting with the new team. Those get-to-know-you moments set the tone, and it's tempting to establish an overwhelmingly or misleadingly strong first impression. When the first-date nerves are fluttering, that unseen gentle hand of compassion for the people who are counting on me can steady the peace within.
