What\u00a0can we learn about trust from the great leaders, teachers, writers and philosophers?<\/strong><\/p>\n

JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yogi Berra’s passing earlier this week struck a chord both close to home and around the world. To many he was a prolific philosopher, a practical joker and an “all American” kind of guy. \u00a0Something you might not know about Yogi Berra…he was an avid hockey fan. As a teenager, his son played for a rival team to my high school alma mater and Yogi\u00a0never failed to make a game. Humble and always with a smile is how I will remember him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This article pulls\u00a0together fifteen of Yogi Berra’s\u00a0most inspiring quotes. Regardless of your role in life- a parent, teacher, coach, business, religious or military leader, the following contain many messages\u00a0about character, competence and consistency, the key ingredients in building trust.<\/p>\n
