I was rereading some excerpts from Bill Walsh's great leadership book titled The Score

Takes Care of Itself.

For those who might be unfamiliar, Bill Walsh is one of the greatest coaches in NFL history.

He took over the San Francisco 49ers when they were the worst team in NFL with a two

and fourteen record, and in two years turned them into the best team in the NFL winning

the Super Bowl.

He went on to turn the 49ers into a dynasty, winning six division titles, three NFC championship

titles, and three Super Bowls.

Coach Walsh not only built a winning team, he also developed eight future head coaches,

who then produced another 35 future NFL head coaches.

He was a leader of leaders.

The excerpt that stuck out to me this read through though is why Bill decided to lead his

leadership position at the height of his career.

It is actually a tragic lesson to learn.

It is when Bill stopped abiding by the title of his book, instead Bill started to define

himself and his self worth on winning.

Losing, he said, can become so psychologically crippling that winning offers little solace

and no cause for celebration because you've imposed an internal accounting system on

yourself that awards zero points for winning and minus points for losing.
