Deciding to play a really long shot, he called ilj"s. Athletic office in an attempt to reach basketball coach bob knight and engage him as a guest speaker for the class. The coach was out of the office, so the instructor left a message indicating his request and waited for a call. The instructor was not really surprised; he knew all along the odds were against coach knight having the time to provide this service, however much he might be interested in doing it. As knight took the podium, be told the business students, the first thing you people need to know about leadership is that most of you simply don"t have it in you.
