(Below from the book, Wooden on Leadership)

It is very easy to get comfortable in a position of leadership, to believe that you’ve got all the answers, especially when you begin to enjoy some success.
People start telling you that you’re the smartest around. But if you believe them, you’re just the dumbest around.
That’s one of the reasons it’s extremely difficult to stay at the top – because once you get there, it is so easy to stop listening and learning.

When success comes your way, you must work even harder and avoid the great temptation of believing that previous achievements will occur in the future without even greater effort than was required in the past.
As a leader, you must never become satisfied, never content that what you know is all you need to know.
