Where Do You Keep Your Championship Rings?
Imagine you had a team of the best basketball players of the early 21st century. How do you think this team would perform in a tournament? Imagine you had a work team of the most talented individuals in their field, the rock stars, the superstars. There is a general assumption that if you want to get the best performance out of a team you have to hire the best talent available for that team. That’s obvious, right? (Hint: Maybe not…) Who are the superstars on your team (if you really even are on a team….) and what are their super powers? We will then talk about what traits you need to exhibit to truly be a superstar and how that will transform your team. Spoiler alert – it’s not what you think.
