Mike Krzyzewski on Creating High Performing Teams
Posted on July 11, 2008
Filed Under Executive Leadership, Innovation |
As the USA men’s basketball team gets ready for the Bejing Olympics coach Krzyzewski is preparing the team to win the gold medal:
His key messages are unity and selflessness. Put the United States and the team ahead of individual egos. It is quite challenging having a group of all-stars in their positions actually win as a team. We have witnessed this lack of excellence over the past few Olympics.
Mike as a coach, and leader, is working with his team to elevate their performance by having them focus on a superordinate goal and building emotional capital for the reason they are performing. These lessons can be translated very easily into the workplace.
