“For its inaugural event, the Mobile Leadership Series brought the NFL’s embodiment of leadership to Mobile on Thursday night. Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning stayed on message by delivering insight into leadership in his address to about 775 people at the Arthur R. Outlaw Mobile Convention Center.
While giving pointers on what makes a good leader, Manning called for those in the crowd to become game-changers for the good of the community.
Manning said three words that can transform lives are family, education and community, and he praised the Mobile Leadership Series for focusing on that trio. He said all should have that same focus.
“Everyone in this room has the ability to be a leader in the community,” Manning said. But that ability doesn’t matter if it never gets off the sideline.
“If you have the talent,” Manning said, “if you have the will, make it count for more than just numbers on the scoreboard.”
