I love this. I’m not a big Chiefs fan, but Andy Reid is a fantastic coach. I also love that this story starts from just a single index card.

Reid was a young coach, and he was always jotting down ideas, a lesson from Bill Walsh or Winston Churchill that would find its way onto a 3 x 5 card. Some of those cards went to McNabb. Others to coaches. But one card in particular ended up behind Reid’s desk. It featured just two words, and two decades later, it still offers the simplest understanding of Reid’s leadership.

“Don’t Judge.”
