The Power of a Winning Side

I recently came across an article imagining a fantasy World Cup team made up of #business #founders and #investors.

It was intended as a bit of fun. Yet it prompted a more serious reflection.

When people think about building high performing #teams, they often start by asking:

- Who are the stars?
- Who has the strongest track record?

But football managers know something important: a #team of eleven strikers won’t win a World Cup.

The best teams aren’t built by collecting the most talented individuals. They’re built by bringing together people whose #strengths complement each other.

#Leadership teams are no different.

- Some see opportunities others miss.
- Some ask the difficult questions.
- Some bring clarity when things become complex.
- Some inspire belief and momentum.
- Some provide stability when the pressure is on.
- Some quietly hold everything together.

In my #coaching work with #executive #teams, I’ve noticed that breakthroughs often happen when leaders make the time and space for conversation and connection and ask:

- What do we need that we don’t currently have?
- What gets in the way of us being at our best?
- What can we collectively shift to create more value and impact?

They’re not always easy conversations. But they’re often the ones that matter most.
