1/ Leadership lessons from Coach K.

I was a walk-on for the 2001 @DukeMBB national championship team. It isn’t something I talk much about publicly (or privately) because it’s hard to summarize authentically in a tweet or a quick conversation. Today is an exception.

2/ In honor of Coach K’s last game at Cameron, I want to share some of the things I learned from him.

3/ Names can be tools: Coach uses your name, or doesn’t use it, to demonstrate respect. To motivate. For a purpose.

Coach K always knew my name, and the names of every manager, staff and player. How he chooses to use your name is amazing and brilliant.

Listened to #CoachK speak at @WalterReedArmy Medical Grand Rounds today. He spoke on "Teamwork During Challenging Times" and as legendary Coach of the Duke Men's Basketball team and Team USA Basketball, he knows about leadership through challenge. /1
Notes I jotted from his talk... He highlighted that agility, creativity, and unity are crucial now more than ever. He talked about the importance of an organization's values. Values like integrity, respect, courage, selfless service, doing your job, trust and loyalty. /2
Right now during challenging times it is important to listen to others. He talked about humble leadership. A favorite quote from this talk was, "If you’re consistently the smartest person in the room then you’re in the wrong room or you’re a narcissist." /3
