Sometimes, taking a risk on a star player can result in a leader's greatest triumphs. But it can also lead to their downfall.
These words belong to Jena McGregor, who writes on leadership topics for the Washington Post. She is writing about the failure in leadership at Ohio State University where football coach Jim Tressel resigned last week, a victim of his own lack of leadership.
Tressel placed his trust in several players and they let him down. His reaction to the problem, though, was not to address the underlying issue. Instead it was to look for ways to cover up the misdeeds of his players so they could continue to perform on the field.
