THE STAKES ARE HIGH.
You are the coach of a five-man basketball team battling against another team. But this isn’t just any game. It’s the Olympics and it’s all for the glory. You are leading the team who is gunning for Gold in the men’s basketball final.
hundreds of thousands of sports fanatics—representing virtually every country in the world—hover above their colorful stadium seats shouting with all their might in the hopes of inspiring your team to victory. You are about to begin the fight of your life … battling for the title of “best in the world.”
As the ball is tossed in the air at center court, one of your star players grabs it and races down the wooden planks as fast as he can, gunning for the competitor’s net. Just imagine, three of your five starting players are standing at center court waving to their family and friends in the stands. Your final starting player is watching ESPN SportsCenter on a TV in the locker room as he sips lime green Gatorade and roots for the opposing team.
Is it real? Absolutely! Leaders, this is your workforce today.
