Leaders: People will perform up to your expectations – set your expectations at your team’s full potential, then help them succeed.
Names Effect Enthusiasm

- The San Diego Chargers
- Detroit Tigers
- Chicago Bulls
Other teams have names that celebrate their towns like:
- The New England Patriots
- Phoenix Suns
- Montreal Canadians
