Absolutely brilliant!!!! Applies to almost all aspects of life: Professional and Personal Clinical execution and collaborative teams are vital for sustained success.

This article reminded me of Frances Frei formula of high expectations and high devotion to obtain the best out of your team.

Pass the Ball if You Want to Win Championships Individual stars might win you a game or close a few deals, but exponential growth requires a cohesive, high-performing team that believes in collaboration. Are you fostering a group of solo stars, or are you building an all-star team that excels at passing the ball? Take inspiration from the 1992 American Olympic basketball team. I share an anecdote in today's video on how the team faced failure, learned from it, and came together to achieve victory. #collaboration #mindset #team #sales #businessstorytelling

This is well worth a listen, the three key messages are really powerful! I also love how humble, even nervous he seems. Here are his three lessons with my favourite bit from each: 1. Excellence is a myth “Yes, talent matters. I’m not going to stand here and tell you it doesn’t. But talent has a broad definition. Most of the time, it’s not about having a gift. It’s about having grit. In tennis, a great forehand with sick racquet head speed can be called a talent. But in tennis... like in life... discipline is also a talent. And so is patience. Trusting yourself is a talent. Embracing the process, loving the process, is a talent. Managing your life, managing yourself... these can be talents, too. Some people are born with them. Everybody has to work at them.” 2. Its only a point “In tennis, perfection is impossible... In the 1,526 singles matches I played in my career, I won almost 80% of those matches... Now, I have a question for all of you... what percentage of the POINTS do you think I won in those matches? Only 54%. When you’re playing a point, it is the most important thing in the world. But when it’s behind you, it’s behind you... This mindset is really crucial, because it frees you to fully commit to the next point… and the next one after that… with intensity, clarity and focus.” 3. Life is bigger than the court "I worked a lot, learned a lot, and ran a lot of miles in that small space... But the world is a whole lot bigger than that... Even when I was just starting out, I knew that tennis could show me the world... but tennis could never be the world." https://lnkd.in/es-V7Dgv

Had the privilege of sitting in on one of Alan Stein, Jr.'s performance speeches a couple days ago at a conference. My favourite quote was "Do the best you can, with what you've got, wherever you are" The overarching theme was about what makes winning teams and how we can facilitate this as individuals. He noted how anytime we show up as less than our best self we are being selfish and effectively letting down our team (can be in sports, business, or even our relationships). The paradox here shows that being selfless can actually serve you better as it relates to winning as a team. A piece of actionable advice I found was through the use of an acronym we are all well aware of... "WTF" - yes, but it translates to "where to focus". He says we ought to focus on what we can control - and the two things are effort and attitude. If effort is a choice, then so is lack of effort. If choosing to be appreciative of obstacles is a choice, then so is choosing to be irritated or dissatisfied in the face of obstacles. The goal here is to be on the right side of those choices so many times that it would be highly improbable for you and your team to lose. Hope this helps heighten everyone's awareness in where to focus as it translates to your winning teams both at home and in the public space. Big thank you to, Alan Stein, Jr.. https://lnkd.in/gMsh4KNi

When a team comes together, there's nothing they can't accomplish. Each person's unique strengths and perspectives make the team an unstoppable force. 💪🏼 Let's keep pushing boundaries and achieving greatness, one team effort at a time!

Perfection is impossible. In the 1,526 singles matches I played in my career, I won almost 80% of those matches. But what percentage of points did I win? 54% In other words, even top ranked tennis players win barely more than half the points they play. When you lose ever second point on average, you learn not to dwell on every shot. You teach yourself to think: 'Okay, I double faulted...it's only a point.' 'Okay, I came to the net and I got passed again...it's only a point.' Even a great shot, an overhead backhand smash that ends up on ESPN's top 10 playlist – that too is just a point. Here's why I'm telling you this. When you're playing a point, it has to be the most important thing in the world. And it is. But when it's behind you, it's behind you. This mindset is crucial – because it frees you to fully commit to the next point with intensity, clarity, and focus." –@rogerfederer https://lnkd.in/g3h2q4r5
