This sports #stadium#development is a prime example of successful collaboration between the city, the county, a professional sports organization, and a private developer. The project plans include 6,000 residential units (1,200 designated as affordable/workforce housing and 4,800 as market-rate #multifamily housing) along with 750,000 square feet of #retail space, a game day plaza, a cultural arts promenade, and dedicated green space with trail connectivity.
#SanAntonio should take note, especially considering we've built two stadiums that have failed to activate the surrounding areas. Both are surrounded by asphalt parking lots that remain locked and unused for six days out of the week... let's start thinking bigger...

Pinellas County Commissioners and the City of St. Petersburg City Council have given their blessing to our joint proposal to reshape the city's historic Gas Plant District.
This represents the largest mixed-use development in Tampa Bay history, including 1,200 units of affordable/workforce housing, 750,000 square feet of retail and of course a new state-of-the-art ballpark for the Tampa Bay Rays.
Throughout the process, we will be guided by principled and inclusive progress, and work hand in hand with the Rays, local elected officials and community stakeholders.

Six days ago, Long Beach State announced it was firing head coach Dan Monson after 17 years.
However, the school decided to allow him to coach out the Big West Tournament.
So, he just led LBSU to the Big West title—and the school’s first NCAA Tournament berth in over a decade.
Dick Fosbury and the most successful flop of all times What a privilege to be in Paris during these phenomenal #JOPARIS2024! While attending an athletics event in the #StadedeFrance, I reflect on the legacy of #DickFosbury (1947-2023) and his gold medal in the high jump in Mexico 1968 Olympic games.
Fosbury pioneered a revolutionary technique of high jump that allowed him to win the gold medal and that was totally different from the prevalent straddle technique of that time. At start, it was ironically called “the Fosbury flop” looking at the way he landed on his back, but it was all but a flop!
Over time, most athletes adopted and improved his technique that is since then prevalent in the high jump. For that reason, #DickFosbury is considered one of the most influential athletes of all times.
What I find amazing is how he developed this revolutionary technique during his college years: he found lots of coaches advising him to jump “the orthodox way” and focusing on teaching him the straddle technique. He kept practising both ways, until the day that results made clear that he performed better using his own style. His coach Berny Wagner gave up trying to correct him and began helping him to refine his technique. The path to the Olympic gold medal was cleared and the biggest revolution in high jump had just started. Have a look:

What can we business coaches and executives learn from Dick Fosbury and his sport coaches? Do we have the courage to let our talents unleash their potential in the way they prefer, or do we force them to adopt “the established way”? Do we have the objectivity to assess performance and recognise when somebody has better results using a different approach and not doing as we are used to? Are we humble enough to let our beliefs aside and truly support them to refine their innovation? Performance, in sports and business, comes from hard work, autonomy and trust.

👀 Despite upper management's recent termination decision, Dan Monson still delivers! 💪 While we don't know what would have happened if he wasn't there; we do know what happened because he was!!!
My take aways:
1. Sometimes we make rash decisions because of our emotions instead of our intellect.
2. Sometimes upper management gets it wrong.
This will be an interesting to watch... #oops#danmonson#Resilience#managementmatters#managementmistakes#KeepPushingForward 🏀🚀
