Leadership lessons from Saban

Submitted by iawolve on

Honestly, this is a pretty interesting read from Fotune. Yes, it is softball, but sheds a lot of light on how this guy works. Some of it you really could not make up. In a way, I almost feel sorry for the way this guy exists. A few strange gems.

 

"As he sits down at a small table in his expansive wood-paneled corner office, the coach grabs what looks like a garage-door opener and presses the button. Across the room, the door to his office softly whooshes shut. Boom! Nick Saban just saved three seconds." 

 

"Every day, Saban sits at this very table and works through his lunch hour while eating the same exact meal: a salad of iceberg lettuce and cherry tomatoes topped with turkey slices and fat-free honey Dijon dressing. No time wasted studying a menu."
