Why Winners Quit

When I was playing basketball every day at both the high school and university levels, I often heard:

“Winners never quit.”

After stumbling across a journal entry I wrote a year ago, I now believe that to be a winner, you have to know when to quit.

So, in this video, I explain why I’m utterly convinced that quitters do succeed and why leaders who do will be of more value to the marketplace.
