This is a FANTASTIC leadership article - A MUST Read!!!
The night of Nov. 6, David Backes tried to go out with his wife, Kelly. They had to come home early. Only 13 games into his first season as the captain of the St. Louis Blues, Backes faced a crisis. The team had started 6-7-0. Head coach Davis Payne had been fired.
Backes let the dogs out and got on the phone. He hoped he would have
the chance to speak to his new coach, veteran Ken Hitchcock, a Stanley
Cup winner, before they showed up to the rink on Monday. They had to get
on the same page and fast. Their next game was Tuesday night, and it
was against a Central Division rival, the Chicago Blackhawks.
Sometime after 6:30 p.m., Hitchcock called from his car – probably
somewhere on I-70 or I-71 – as he made the seven-hour drive from his
last stop in Columbus, Ohio, to what would be his renaissance in St.
Louis. They spoke for about an hour. (Too bad Backes didn’t fly over and pick him up.)
