Motivation Quote by Roger Staubach

Staubach sells certainty the way he once sold play-action: make the chaos look managed, then cash in on trust. This line is less a reflection on construction than a veteran athlete leveraging a particular American authority - the quarterback as executive - to promise control in a world that routinely blows budgets and schedules.

The intent is overtly transactional: hire our team, reduce risk, save money, hit deadlines. But the subtext is about anxiety. Construction is notorious for hidden conditions, change orders, subcontractor domino effects, and the quiet dread that the final bill will arrive like a surprise injury report. Staubach doesn’t try to romanticize building; he reassures. “Eliminate the risks inherent” is an absolute phrase in a domain where absolutes are risky - yet it works because it mirrors what clients want to hear when they’re signing seven-figure checks.

The 5% - 10% figure is the quote’s persuasive engine. It’s specific enough to feel earned, not so specific that it invites auditing on the spot. It frames the service not as an added line item but as an investment that pays for itself, a classic consulting move dressed in plainspoken business language. “Typically” slips in as a legal and ethical airbag.

Context matters: Staubach’s post-NFL identity as a real estate and consulting magnate makes this pitch credible to corporate ears. He’s not performing swagger; he’s performing stewardship - the same leadership trope sports culture prizes, repurposed as a promise that someone competent will hold the clipboard while everyone else builds.
