Fauci On Team

Loved these quotes from Anthony Fauci on the importance of team, and clarity of purpose. Both of them connect very well to coaching.

“It’s almost impossible to do anything meaningful without either leading a team or being part of the team,” Fauci said. “You want to be able to get someone who’s looking to answer the question, as opposed to looking for self-aggrandizement.” 

“I like clarity of thought,” Fauci said of his own hiring style. “Don’t get involved in distracting minutiae and details that cloud what your question is, what your mission is, what your mandate is. There are some people who are really good scientists, but you never know what they’re talking about. You never know where they’re going. You never know what the big picture is.”
