Being around it, playing any game that had a ball and trying to understand what made some players better than others
Sport teaches you so much but the best coaches I ever had always kept things simple.
The focus was on making sure you understood the basics, kept things simple and targeted small improvements until, almost without noticing, you realised just how much better you’d become.
Business isn’t all that different.
The best leaders remind me of those great coaches, they break things down, keep them simple and make them repeatable.
They tie every action to an outcome, provide feedback and let you do the work, trusting that if you get the fundamentals right, results will follow.
Simplicity doesn’t mean a lack of depth, it just means clarity in direction and consistency in execution.
