Almost everyone wants to get better, but far fewer are willing to change. The gap between wanting improvement and accepting it shows up everywhere: athletes, organizations, entire industries. A strong culture can't survive if people resist the actual work of changing.
And I would tell you the same thing that I would share with my players when, even after we had built a pretty good culture, you still find yourself in rough spots, right? And you know the talent's better than maybe the performance on the floor turned out looking like. And I think that the idea of staying coachable is something that translates across industry. Everybody is in the talent development business. Everybody wants to navigate change. And staying coachable, as I define it, is wanting to get better. And if I were to ask the people here, raise your hand if you want to get better, every hand goes up. And then I ask the audience, who's willing to change? And there's fewer hands. Yeah. And you saw that not just with athletes, but with people that I've worked with as audiences and organizations. And I saw it first in the mirror.
