Put me in coach "I would like to thank the Lord Jesus Christ and Eric Mangini" What's your destination: understanding your objectives Someone, somewhere has probably done this before: planning with precedents What's in the forecast: know the alternatives It's in your best interest to know their interests: define the interests Look before you leap: set your strategy When the rubber meets the road: do a timeline The right parts for the right people: pick your team What you say, how you say it: write the script The constant preparer adjusting and learning from mistakes "Some people have way too much confidence, baby" Prepare and conquer a mantra for effective people You can get some satisfaction
