“Hard work is a talent.”

Instilling this in your team is a superpower.

Even if they don’t come from a working class family, someone in their heritage will have done.

Share those stories to ground them.

If the best player puts importance on working hard = you win!

A killer interview question to ask:

“Are you a lucky person?”

Lucky people = optimistic outlook
Unlucky people = victim mindset

Business is hard enough.

Build a team of optimistic operators.

(+ a bit of luck never hurt anyone 🍀)

@drgurner So true!

Even more important in a team context.

I remember our water polo coach would constantly reiterate how we were the underdogs that would shock the world.

1 year later we were national champions.

Visualisation and belief are such a superpowers.

Great teammates take accountability when things go wrong.

Bad teammates look for who/what to blame.

Hard times are a blessing in disguise.

“Zero blame” cultures outperform their rivals.
