As I sat and watch the game tonight, I realized that the Miami Heat, and A Titus Man team have a lot in common: We are two teams that I have witnessed come together beautifully.
It is inspiring to watch a group of individuals gel to become a powerful team. I am actually a Heat fan, and watching them play is a thing of beauty: They can read each other, they trust each other, and they work together unselfishly to achieve their goals. When they started the season, each player seemed only concerned with their own ability to get the ball up or down the court and score, but once they started acting and feeling like a team, they began passing, pointing, talking, and winning.
We have partnered with other groups and across the organization to drive a great member experience, and growth for our organization. We are working together as a team and winning. As a leader, it is particularly gratifying to watch a team come together and realize a big part of our job is now to help support and accelerate this team’s momentum.
I jotted down some attributes that I have watched play a part in this incredible evolution:
- Leadership
- Accountability
- Selflessness
- Support for others
- Communication
- Transparency
- Hunger
- Absolute hard work
- Joy for what you are doing
- Relentless focus
- Belief in the mission
- Respect
I am excited to watch the Heat in the finals, and the growth of A Titus Man.
