Larry Bird

Another sports generated example of the importance of leadership. Larry Bird, only the most famous and well respected Hoosier, talks about the Indiana Pacers getting better. In an article for the www.Indystar.com, Mr. Bird is quoted, "I don’t think we have what I call a great leader in that locker room. Players will say, ‘Come on, I’m a leader.’ No, it’s not there . .. Until we have that, we will struggle at times. There’s no question about that. As far as a leader, no, we don’t have that.”

This is exactly how class was on day one. We did not have a leader. Without the leader, we were scattered-brained dodos.
