Innovate or die

[Dave Kline @dklineii]

99% of overworked teams are run poorly.

That didn't happen magically.
The leader's lack of conviction created it.

To restore order:
- Boring -> Automate it
- Bottleneck -> Break it
- Bureaucratic -> Cut it

The leader's only job:
"Keeping the main thing the main thing."

[Harlequins 🃏 @Harlequins]

Everyone at Harlequins is deeply shocked and saddened by the sudden passing of former Academy Coach, Warren Abrahams (1982 - 2025).

Warren made an enduring impact on the Club during his time with the Academy from 2011 to 2019. His passion, leadership and commitment to developing players were felt not only at Harlequins, but throughout the wider rugby world during his distinguished career.

Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with Warren’s family, friends and loved ones at this incredibly difficult time. ❤️🃏
