When Dan Quinn was fired by Atlanta a few years ago he went through a self reflection. He sought the views of former players and coaches he had worked with. The feedback indicated he needed to delegate more and improve his communication. Developing and empowering coaches became a focus. He was able to help his assistants grow into their jobs by delegating more responsibility. As the workload spread he had more people implementing his vision. Buy in from his staff created more positive enthusiasm.The lessons Quinn learned are not unique. Most of us learn this as we grow. The issue can be that under stress from occasional setbacks we fall back on unproductive habits and lose our focus. It seems he was able to keep the whole team, players and coaches motivated. The organization is now viewed as a great place to be, brotherhood runs deep, as mutual respect and accountability became shared behaviors.
