University of Alabama football coach Nick Saban knows about the demands of leadership and the challenges of sustained success.

In a coaching career spanning more than four decades, he’s learned the pitfalls of complacency and the rewards of dedication.

And on Monday, he shared some of these lessons with the elected leaders from almost 400 municipalities at the closing session of this year’s convention of the Alabama League of Municipalities held in Tuscaloosa.

“You have to be somebody that somebody else wants to emulate,” Saban said.
