Two Questions

Why is long-term success so challenging?

Have you ever been a member of a great team that eventually failed because of an unwillingness to change? This phenomenon is particularly evident in the world of professional sports, where maintaining sustained excellence proves to be an enormous challenge. Consider the National Football League, for instance – why have only a handful of teams been able to claim multiple championship titles in consecutive seasons? The rarity of such achievements speaks volumes about the difficulty of maintaining peak performance. This serves as a powerful leadership reminder that yesterday's accomplishments, while worth celebrating, cannot guarantee future success. The key lesson here is clear: don't become complacent and rely on past achievements.

Who wins the championship?

The most talented team or the group of individuals who come together to form a true partnership focused on a shared vision? Is it a team of "I People" or "We People"? Consider the coaches who have achieved the most sustainable success. They don't need to be the center of attention, taking credit for victories while blaming players for losses. Instead, they understand the value of teamwork, hard work, supporting others, and learning from mistakes. Leaders model what they value.
