A leader's #1 priority

"(The lads) were anxious to do well and sometimes young players don't know how to slow down," Alex Ferguson said after Manchester United's 23-match unbeaten home run were broken by Besiktas. "That's a natural part of improving and developing a young player."

A football coach's #1 priority is to attract, develop, nurture, organize and motivate the club's talent. Coaches are intimately aware that the future success of their club depends on the talent they attarct, engage and retain. Finding and nurturing talent is their #1 priority.

Why should priorities of a Director of Sales & Marketing or any other leader be any different?
