An Olympian's Guide to No-Nonsense Leadership

Christie Rampone is one of America’s most successful and celebrated soccer players, and she will be leading the U.S. Women's National Team to the London Olympic Games. She has won gold twice, once in 2004 and as the team captain in 2008. She has also played in four World Cup finals and is a mother of two young kids. 

Here, she opens up about what it really takes to be a leader.

Whether in the world of soccer or business, leadership is simple. 
It's about communication, honesty, and building confidence. That's it. You get that, and your team competes at its best. Period. 
As the captain of the U.S. Women's National soccer team, it is my job to help the team understand what the coaching staff expects.
