Description

When Clemson’s season started 1–3, Dabo Swinney could have blamed the players, the coaches, or the refs. Instead, he said, “I’m not pointing the finger. I’m pointing the thumb.” In this episode, John shares how taking ownership instead of assigning blame defines great leadership.

Quote of the Day:
“The best leaders don’t point fingers. They point thumbs.”
