Oblige me. I'm on the east coast working away from wife kids and while enjoying this:

I think I just had an epiphany about life.
DICTATE THE OUTCOME.

... .Is that the secret to Mcvay's leadership style?
Is that the secret to life, the universe, and everything?

That’s a crap load of unnecessary celery, my friend. Coulda’ fit a few more wings on that plate. :sneaky:

Seriously though, looks like a tasty appetizer. And a fine, frosty beverage, served ice cold, like a good IPA should.

I'd love to have McVay come to my office and give a speech on leadership. When he's ready to retire, that'll be his calling.

Buffalo wings and beer, simple and delicious. Good call!

I'm not sure how serious you were, but yeah it really is "the secret". He tries responsibility for his party in everything, whether or not he's the main driver or involved in it at all.

The best example is on the field play. He can't help in that moment if somebody has a bad game. But he knows that he could have given them a play call they could have executed better, or that would have worked better against the defensive scheme, or trained then better during the week/off-season, or put somebody else in. You can say that he's the head coach so that's his job, but I have a strong feeling that being that way it's what me him the youngest head coach ever and what's made him so successful.

He discovers how he can influence the outcome and he owns that regardless of whether or not it's his to own. He knows that if he has to explain something to Snead or Demoff it is up to him to explain it in a way that understand, not up to them to understand him.

Being authentic about all of that, wanting it not for himself so he can say he's the most effective, and wanting that lever of ownership to make the organization and everyone around him better is what gets everyone on board.
