What is Patience?

Patience to the Servant-Leader should imply an active pursuit of excellence in the face of unrealized goals and expectations. The Servant-leader must model determination and persistence in times of struggle.

“Be quick, but don’t be in a hurry”.---Coach Wooden

Lesson 9 Perspective:

As Coach Wooden has said, “You must condition your team to love the struggle”. Patience, determination, and persistence all require the leader to acknowledge the reasons for failure, and place the burden of corrective action on the shoulders of the leader. The amount of change required and the rate of change to effect will vary greatly. A patient leader will know when and how to apply both.

I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle victorious. - Vince Lombardi
