Jimmy Johnson explains the "disease of me" and why success can be the downfall of any team or company “The downfall of every great company… Country… Team… Whatever… Everybody in the organization is going to say… ‘What about me?’” “‘I didn’t get enough praise.’ ‘I didn’t get enough accolades.’” “Every secretary is going to want a raise.” “Every scout is going to want a raise.” “Every player is going to want a new contract.” “That’s what you’re going to have to deal with.” “The other thing you’ve got to deal with is human nature when you have success. People get to where they don’t work quite as hard. They get pretty comfortable with themselves.” “It’s no fun for the guy at the top that is demanding. That has to filter down. From you… To the assistant coaches… To the star… To the secretary.” “That’s why it’s so difficult for teams to stay at the top.” “If they are aware of the problems, it’s a little easier to overcome. But that doesn’t eliminate them. Your goal is to be better than you were the year before.” “All I ask from you is all you have. You give me everything you’ve got… I’ll never ask for more.”
