Think Like a GM: Building a Championship Team for Your Business
As business leaders, how often do we evaluate our teams like a general manager evaluates a professional sports team? Instead of asking, "Can this person do the job today?" consider asking, "Can this person help us achieve our long-term vision?" Just like a football team wouldn’t settle for a quarterback who barely meets minimum standards, businesses shouldn’t settle for team members who can't contribute to championship-level success. Sometimes, a "C player" in one role might be an "A player" in another. A marginal quarterback might excel as a tight end. Take a moment to reflect: Is your team positioned for today—or for where you want to go?
