A Quote from Coach Kirby Smart on Leadership
“Number one, you will have to make hard decisions that negatively affect people you care about. Number two, you will be disliked despite your best attempts to do the best for the most. Number three, you will be misunderstood and won’t always have the opportunity to defend yourself. Those are three costs that come from being a great leader.”
