2.  Successful people think bottom line-first they want to know who won, then they will have time to view the highlights.

Bob Gainey was one of the best leaders that I played with. Gainey had a way to get to the issue, to think bottom line. I remember Bob during a particularly important game gathering the bottom-line sense that our team was in a funk. The bench was quiet, our play was lethargic and Gainey sensed that something dramatic had to happen to shock us out of this mode of complacency. The players on the bench couldn't believe their eyes! During his next shift Gainey had gone right after the toughest player on the other team and challenged him to fight (Bob very seldom fought and only in defense of a teammate.)

"Yikes" Bo is sending a "wake-up" message to "wake-us-up!" Bob Gainey had an innate sense of the bottom line and what had to be done to improve it. Over the years I came to understand the wisdom of the Montreal Canadiens play-off philosophy of keeping us players in the Hotel even when we were playing home-games. After winning or loosing a critical game every player scanned the game scores around the league and then as we gathered around a post game dinner there was time to watch highlights, in-fact the process, that created the bottom line.
