As a life-long resident of Michigan, I have to say there is something to Dan Campbell. It cannot be ignored, believe me, I tried. I am a Tampa Bay Bucs fan myself. However, Dan has a massive amount of passion for turning what was truly a joke of a team (I am being brutally honest) into something that we (as Michigan Residents) can truly be proud of! The sheer grit, passion, and intensity that he and Brad Holmes have is undeniable. Their dedication to this team is without question remarkable. Putting a team together takes a lot of thought, conversation, and the ability to look ahead. How might this individual be right for the team? Does this individual fit our culture? Will they bring positivity to the team? How will things look after the first year, or even two? These are all important and extremely relevant to our professional lives - even outside of sports. Kudos to Dan and Brad for what they have done. Regardless of if you are a Lions fan or not, their passion, and unwavering commitment to improve is contagious! #passion #professionalgrowth #professionaldevelopment #teambuilding #successjourney #mindsetmatters #teamdevelopment

In case you missed it! Its a great YEAR to be a LIONS FAN! Just goes to show, stay consistent, make the changes and believe in the process. They are not done yet! #development #growthmindset #processimprovement

Leadership Inspiration 101: Appreciation As you head into 2024, brands and leaders will continue to face expected and unexpected headwinds. As a result, a committed team will lead the day. While King Henry isn't a coach, he is a leader by simply exercising one winning principle, sharing appreciation. A leader, you may be asking how does this apply to me? It applies to you if you lead people... 1. When was the last time your thanked your team for their efforts? (Annually during the holidays doesn't count 😀). 2. What is the frequency that you share thanks with your team, others throughout your organization, your external partners and most importantly your consumer? We live in a world of data, performance metrics, etc. and yet I wonder how many leaders reading this actually track their appreciation/thank yous? How many leaders is this "second nature" to and don't need to track? One of my favorite quotes is from Maya Angelo, "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Imagine how the people that King Henry called out at the press conference that has since gone viral feel today? I am willing to bet, he didn't just say Thank You today, he shows his thanks everyday and as a result made them feel special and a part of the team. That is what great leaders do! With appreciation/thanks...I challenge you to do "More in '24", your team will appreciate you back! Thanks King Henry for giving us a model to follow!! Onward and Upward!

Detroit Pistons fans, have you been keeping up with Jaden Ivey's performance this week? On Wednesday, he started against the Los Angeles Lakers, playing 19 minutes. The following day, he came off the bench against the New York Knicks, playing 13 minutes. In a recent vlog, I discussed how the Pistons have accumulated talent rather than built a complementary team, leading to redundancy in their roster. While Alec Burks may be a better fit next to Cade Cunningham, the player they're building around, I believe Jaden Ivey should start. Check out the link to my vlog where I discuss the Pistons, player development, the importance of the starting lineup, asset depreciation, and the trajectory of OJ Mayo. Let's keep the conversation going!
