5 Keys To Transformational Leadership

As a sport, I understand that basketball gives a sense of belonging to its audience and teams, and I love basketball because of that. But beyond what it does and represents, I love it because its industry-essence is rooted in processes, systems, and people.

Creating systems that anyone can reproduce and implement anywhere globally and still be the same proven system can be difficult, and it can take time. It requires an organized, disciplined, and focused approach. Yet, aligning all of the individuals that are part of a team is not an easy job either. Teams take on a “Bigger Role” in any organization. Teams are responsible for shaping and giving birth to an organization’s future.  

“Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships.”

 ~Michael Jordan.
