A leader should demonstrate their commitment through their actions and performance rather than verbal encouragement.

“I'm going to be honest, I'm trying to work on being a better leader. That's one thing that you know, I don't really speak too much unless I really feel like I have to. So I'm more of a guy that's going to I'd rather show you. I can show you better than I can tell you.”

He believes that effective leadership requires building genuine trust with team members across all departments and treating them with mutual respect.

“I wanted to learn people I wanted to get to know people I wanted people to get to know me I wanted to feel the building right”

Rex Ryan believes that great leadership in sports requires coaches to genuinely care about their players to earn their trust and effort.

“that old saying you know hey the the player doesn't want to know what you know until they know you care about them and all that stuff you don't care what you know well that's part of it”

Geno Smith defines leadership by his commitment to his teammates and the ability to connect with individuals through his personal actions.

“I want them to see me in action I want them to see how much it matters to me when you look at your career and the adversities and now getting to the point where you can be that leader”

A leader must manage the psychological disposition of each individual differently to help them reach their potential.

“you can't treat everybody the same and everybody everybody's imperfect so how do you get certain guys that have maybe an imperfection that's affecting their ability to perform that's different than this guy over here but you fix them both so they both can perform”

True leadership at the highest level involves understanding that individuals are motivated differently and pushing their buttons accordingly.

“for me the good thing about every leader is you got to understand everybody's motivated differently. And then you got to understand how to push their button.”

A leader must actively work to understand the individual learning styles and personal lives of teammates to effectively guide them.

“I take the time to get to know my teammates. I when I cook, my teammates come over, we have conversations, we talk about family, we talk about everything besides football. So, I wanted to know who you are as a person, as a family man, as a father, husband, off the field.”
