Zitat des Tages von Robert Kraft:
I am not comfortable discussing politics publicly; I am very comfortable talking about my friendships with people who happen to be in politics.
One of my beliefs about leadership is it's not how many followers you have, but how many people you have with different opinions that you can bring together and try to be a good listener.
If you want to win in this league, you need quality depth management, in the age of the salary cap.
I came into the league in '94.
It's not the great stars that win; it's the great teams that win. It's the teams that subjugate their ego to the team and put the team first.
Out-working your competition is a lot easier to achieve if you're passionate about what you are doing.
I'm a fan at heart.
I'm not a Starbucks guy. I'm a Dunkin Donuts guy, but I like to pay for the coffee of the other folks behind me in line. It typically costs me less than $10, and makes the other people feel good, but more importantly, it makes me feel so good, and random acts of kindness change the world one person at a time.
I'm passionate about owning a football team in my hometown.
I like making money, but it's a scorecard. I'm not driven by that.
Sometimes, life is unfair, and you have to suck it up and move on and not use it as an excuse.
Loyalty and friendship trumps politics for me.
The game of football requires attention constantly. If you miss one play, you can miss a lot of action - unlike some other sports.
If you're running businesses anywhere in the world, people who really do well are the people who have mental toughness.
Tom Brady is a person of great integrity and is a great ambassador of the game both on and off the field.
I realize that my worst day is pretty good.
I'm driven by my passion - my family, my philanthropy, and the New England Patriots winning. That's my life.
A lot of people have their big dreams and get knocked down and don't have things go their way. And you never give up hope, and you really just hold on to it. Hard work and perserverance. You just keep getting up and getting up, and then you get that breakthrough.
Leadership is about stepping up when it's the appropriate time and then making sure everyone knows that we're all on the same page.
I'm blessed with four great children and eight grandchildren.
Whenever you can get a competitive, first-grade person to join your team, you never know what happens.
If I've had any modicum of success, it's because I've had good relationships, and people trusted me.
After the love of my family, there's nothing more important to me than winning football games.
When you do well, everybody's after you, and sometimes the motives are legitimate, and sometimes it's envy and jealousy.
I tell you, I would never sit in judgment of anyone as long as they're good folks. I would never judge their life, because it's important to know their feelings.
I try to stay very busy. I basically work seven days a week. I try to do new things, to meet new people.
When I was graduating from college, the things I valued most were family, faith, and philanthropy. I refer to them as the three f's, phonetically speaking.
