Can your team overcome adversity and win?

Leaders are expected to deliver success

When a leader is put in charge of a team they are expected to deliver positive results. This axiom is particularly true in professional sports.

No pro sports club hires a new coach thinking that the team will have a losing season. No. The coach is there to make the team win. The fans expect no less.

The same is true in business. Organizations do not put leaders in place to perform poorly. The exact opposite is true. They are expected to succeed.

The Raiders hired John Gruden to win games. He is not smiling much these days.

Leaders are replaced when they fail to deliver

If leaders do not deliver positive results they are replaced. It is how the sports entertainment industry works.

Every year coaches who do not win are replaced. Some sports leagues like the NFL and English Premier League are brutal on coaches.

No one cares if the team does not have enough talent to win. The expectation remains the same — win.

The coach or manager is fired if the team does not win.
