john maxwell helps the buckeyes

I read this in the Sunday edition of the Canton Repository:

John Maxwell, an expert on leadership skills, has written plenty of books to help others develop those qualities. A few years back, OSU Head Coach Jim Tressel used one of his books as a summer reading project for his team. This past summer, Tressel and his players read “Talent is Never Enough.” Tressel asked Maxwell to speak to all the school’s teams. He offered three general principles:

• The significance of one: The No. 1 is truly too small, and no one has ever accomplished something great alone.
• Dreams are free: Dream anything you want to dream, but the journey is not.
• Make good choices: Make decisions that support your dreams. Don’t overestimate decision making and underestimate decision management.

Maxwell also rode the team bus from Columbus to Ann Arbor for the Michigan game.
