Tom Brady: The Secret to Leadership

After five Super Bowl victories, you might wonder:  “Beyond throwing the football remarkably well, what makes Brady successful?”  Especially to make the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history, rallying the Patriots from a 21-3 deficit.

Brady needed to convince his teammates that winning the game was still possible.

Tom Brady:  The Secret to Leadership — In His Own Words

He told Terry Bradshaw on Fox in a recorded interview before the game that leadership is all about projecting confidence:

You get in the huddle and you call those plays, you have 10 other guys that are feeling your energy. And what are you putting off? Are you putting off confidence? Are you putting off fear? You know, they can feel all that. And when they get in the huddle with me, I want to look in their eyes, and I want them to feel a belief that we’re gonna do it.

Patriots’ coach Bill Belichick has been described as a master motivator.  A driving force behind the team’s unprecedented 15-year run of success.  But Belichick wasn’t in the huddle. It was Brady.  He rallied a team that looked like a loser in the first half and turned them into champions.  It happened because they have a leader at the helm.
