Liz Murray Quotes

When you say 'I want to be an inspiring leader,' the operative phrase is 'I want.' This is inherently me-centered and self serving whether or not you recognise it. What you are really saying is 'I want to get people to do what I would like them to.' Perhaps they don't want to do that. So you have to somehow get them there.

You can inspire people to give you greatness, or you can micro-manage them into your own one specific kernel of an idea. To me, I think that when you inspire people to give their best, then you're going to get the best result.

It's getting better and better. You know, guys are feeling more comfortable and they are not afraid to speak up and be a leader. I mean, our team, we have 25 players, we have about 25 leaders, too. So whatever someone says, people listen.

I feel like, if the guys can look at me in the huddle and see a calm and collected face, that they're going to relax a little bit. The way I look at it, leadership and being that guy is, don't be someone you're not. Don't be a hoorah guy jumping around and clapping your hands if you're not that guy.

Leadership requires a blend of strategy, persuasion, inspiration and motivation. It is based on respect more than fear.

When Coach Belichick comes up to you during a game and says something to you, that's great.

The coach told me that he has a lot of respect for me, and I am a player who has the ability to do anything I like - to score with both feet, to head well and to pass. To hear such words from a man like Voller gives me a lot of confidence and motivation.

I'm pretty quiet, but my best quality is leading by example.

The owner or president is the person who controls the club. The coach's job is to keep him happy. But the key to success, as a manager, is your relationship with the players. Important clubs and important players succeed when the environment is correct. The players must enjoy their work and feel free to express their talents.

I have a great deal of respect for Coach Fitch. When we won the championship in '81, he was the main reason why we won. We were down and he never let us doubt ourselves.

I'm cool with Pep. I think he's a top manager.

When I was 15, and I just stepped on the A-team, I believed in myself, but I wasn't cocky in any way. I just wanted something so badly that I could tell people around me that were ten years older that they had to play and perform. I would still say that I had respect.

For someone to believe in you, that's all you want as a player and as a coach.

We need to trust our coaches. Unless we trust them we can't get the result.

It is a pleasure to play under Jose Mourinho, and everything is OK. I learn every day. He is a normal coach. He speaks a lot with the players. I like it when the manager speaks a lot with you because it gives you confidence.

You can't play with fear in football. There is a lot of respect - you have respect for everybody, the ones on top and the bottom - but never fear.
