An Easy Act to Follow
I am sure that you will agree that the CAVS’ season and post season successes on the court have been thrilling. It has been a wonderful ride and one that I would like to see last for some time. What a great experience watching this team, which includes the basketball players, front office and coaching staff. Their organization is where we all should be – players to management all on the same page. They are all in sync – from a business perspective, this is simply poetry in motion.
They preach and teach a singular focus on excellence. They are goal oriented and understand that acquiring and retaining top talent at every organizational level is critical to winning their league’s championship. Yep, this team is something special and they represent our region well.
Beyond rooting for the CAVS, we can show our support by following their lead. It’s the same stuff we see over and over again with NorthCoast 99 organizations. Top talent acquisition and retention rules!
My hope is that by watching the CAVS, many CEOs in our region will take note of what it takes to be an organizational winner. Perhaps the end of the CAVS season (after their championship) will signal a new “season” for our region’s businesses. Maybe the CAVS success will light some fires in our collective business bellies. It will be our turn to RISE UP. Once the CAVS accomplish their goal, it will be our turn to take it up a notch and nail a few “three pointers” of our own.
Thanks CAVS for a fun season, a great post season and for leading by example. Swoosh!
