Article Spotting Leadership that creates cultural championsUntitled
Tuesday, May 21st

The Golden State Warriors' leader Steve Kerr intrigues me. His leadership style works, team building works and now his team have achieved a record 5th straight finals.  #leadership #organizational#culture #NBA2019 #warriors

How does he empower his team to do this -- even when the so-called missing magic player is injured?

I notice his effective leadership style includes:

BUILDING RESILIENCE IN TIMES OF CHALLENGE

RESPECT FOR HIS PLAYERS

SUPPORT FOR HIS PLAYERS

LEAD BY EXAMPLE

BUILDING A CULTURE DEVOTED TO TEAM WORK

BUILDING RELENTLESS BELIEF AND COMMITMENT TO A   MISSION

ALWAYS REINFORCING TOGETHERNESS/TEAM WORK

This is a good example of how leadership from the top can empower a team to achieve a milestone achievement.

I have not always been a fan of sports analogies to business but this NBA Season finals catalyzed me to do so. REMINDER NOTE: Effective organizational culture starts at the top.

I plan to keep this NBA coach leadership lesson as an example of an effective way to build more successful corporate culture.
