A former Brex CRO argues that winning cultures start in the locker room. He contrasts teams where players expect victory and help each other improve with the Detroit Lions, who've lost the most games in four years and fight internally instead.
Chapters
The biggest reason is you want to create a culture of winning and you want to set the tone for that culture of winning early. Players are helping each other. There's a lot of effort that goes into improving. You go into the games thinking that you're going to win. It's just a really positive environment and energy that exists in that locker room. You compare that to the Detroit Lions who— I apologize for anybody from Detroit. They are the most losing team in the NFL over the course of the last 4 years. I don't know if there's glare from the Miami sunshine, but the picture is a Detroit Lions fan with a bag over his head that says, "0-16." You can imagine what a Detroit Lions locker room is like where you have the expectation that you're going to lose a team. Players are fighting with one another. Coaches are getting fired.
