Want balance in your life? Then sure, get your own act together, but don't forget four powerful disciplines of execution in your team and organization.
I'm a very commonsense guy - I just look at the viability of the idea, if I feel the team has the ability to execute the idea. I also look at the investment syndicate, the size of the market, and then a lot of gut married on top of it.
We know that if we play our game and execute, then we are going to have a lot of success.
In the NBA, you're taking a bunch of different talents, and you're managing them. You have to give them a system; you have to give them a belief. That's why coaches like Phil Jackson and Gregg Popovich are so great: because they gave the team confidence in the system and in their ability to execute night in and night out.
We talked about some of our experiences, focusing, hanging together down the stretch, important games. It's not necessarily who has the most talent but what team sticks together and executes their fundamentals the best.
Football is a really simple game, and the most important thing, in any formation, is that the players do their jobs, not the formation which they play in.
Number three, we're going to play very smart and we're not going to beat ourselves. If the other team is better than us and they just out execute us and play better then we can live with that, but we're going to play smart and give ourselves every opportunity to win the game.
We have built brands that resonate deeply with our customers. Our strategy to grow these brands is clear, and we have strong teams in place to execute this strategy. That is our formula for success.
How well a team executes its plans is important, but I think keeping nerves under pressure is far more important in the knockout stage.
You can't be a sloppy football team and be successful in the NFL.
The team that is the most focused and executes the best is the team that wins. That's usually the team that can handle the pressure of the situation.
