Championship Teams - Boston Celtics The storied Boston Celtics won their 18th title this week. How do some teams seem to do better than others? They know how to win, expect to win, and have the desire to prepare to win. The Celtics had a good team committed to the purpose, goals, and continuous improvement toward their own true potential You always hear championship teams talk about “team chemistry”. This is key and comes back to belief, commitment, and trust. They all believed and committed to do their part.  They depended on each other, held each other accountable, and when challenges arose, (a key player injury) they always had the “next man up” attitude with zero fear. Do you have a championship team? Do you and your team believe in and have a clear picture of what true potential looks like?  Have you 100% committed to it? Do you trust everyone on the team? There are only a few things in your business that produce the most results. Do you and your team know what they are and are you focused on spending most of your time there? The Celtics had a bold goal, built the right team, committed to their belief, and trusted they would get there. Oh yes, and they had a good ole Indiana boy who assembled the Celtics 18th championship team.  Brad Stevens, Celtics President is a former coach who focuses on a few simple fundamentals and concepts. His deals were instrumental in putting the pieces in place to get there. His competitive coaching and management style mimics a former Celtics star, and also an Indiana native, who also helped the Celtics win 3 of their championships – Larry Bird. (The same Larry Bird who scored 54 against my high school team!)   So, the keys are: Belief and commitment to winning Assemble the right team Include a good ole Indiana boy 😉

Businesses are like olympic races. When we’re playing, we should never celebrate early and when we win we should never celebrate too, long (becuse we need to prepare for the next game). But most importantly, only those who set goals and act on those goals can expect to win. #leadingwhereyouare #leadingwithapurpose #leadershiponfire

This weekend was the Kentucky Derby, and on the historic 150th running of this race, Mystik Dan delivered a breath-taking win, beating second place Sierra Leone and third place Forever Young in the first three horse photo finish since 1947 ended in a 3-horse photo finish. This year's race marks a unique milestone with the 150th running of the Derby — the first race took place back in 1875. There are lots of interesting facts about the Derby, with the drink of the race is the Mint Julep, made with Woodford Reserve as the official bourbon for the race. There wasn’t an official trophy for the race for almost 50 years, the first race was in 1875 and the trophy was created in 1924. To this day the Kentucky Derby trophy is one of the only solid gold trophies in the United States. The fastest Kentucky Derby was run by Secretariat in 1973 (1:59.40). The slowest winning time was run by Kingman in 1891 (2:52.25 for the mile and a half). There have been three fillies to win the race. I love the Kentucky Derby not only because it’s exciting, but also because it always provides important leadership lessons. Here are a few from the 2024 race: You can win against all odds. You just never know. You can’t stop until the end. This was an exciting race to watch, and even more interesting doing research on the history of the Derby as well as the winner. If you have something interesting to add to the lore of the Kentucky Derby, drop it in the chat. Don’t forget to like, comment, and follow so you don’t miss future content.

Imagine having a conversation with your peers and you asked them about Michele Jordan, Lebron James, Larry Bird, Mia Hamm, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, etc and they responded with "who"? You would be flabbergasted, wouldn't you? This is how I feel when I talk about the great Major Taylor. A man that doesn't get the recognition he deserves. His story inspired me in more ways than I can explain. I was competing in the road world championships, 100 years after Major won his first world title in 1899.

History

Applying the 1% to everything we do makes a significant difference to both performance and outcome. Imagine the conversations in your staff or board room or at home, if everyone is challenged and given the green light, the time and resources to implement a single change to improve their workplace and more importantly those around them. Most importantly the recognition for their efforts and the impact of their endeavours. Often the opportunity for people ‘voice’ & ‘being included’ is enough to motive and generate positive results. #motivetheteam #positiveoutcome #bethebestyoucanbe #inspireothers
