Tony Dungy“You're born with some things inside you that will allow you to lead, but I think you have to take the bull by the horns. You have to want that leadership position, and then there are things you can do to develop that.”
Tony Dungy“The book is actually called 'A Mentor Leader, a Different Way to Lead.' It really talks about my experience in the way I tried lead our football team, things that I learned from, basically, the coaches that I played for and my parents about leadership. And it is a little bit different, counter to maybe what society says about great leaders.”
Tony Dungy“The secret to success is good leadership, and good leadership is all about making the lives of your team members or workers better.”
Tony Dungy“I don't have the strength or wisdom to get through a single day without guidance and grace from God.”
Tony Dungy“I could never have pictured myself writing a book when I was 25 years old. My mom was an English teacher but I wasn't that way growing up.”
Tony Dungy“My dad, who was a teacher, used to tell me that a teacher's goal should be for every one of their students to get an A. If that's your goal every day - to make every student or player learn - then it doesn't matter if you won last year or didn't win. When next year's team shows up, I try to help every player become as good as they can be.”
Tony Dungy“You never know what's going to happen. My mother was an English teacher. If someone had told her that I was going to write a book, she would never have believed that. So you can never say never.”
Tony Dungy“Balance provides the chance for longevity. You can be a champion at work and at home.”
