Creating a strong team raises important questions. Should we focus more on processes or success? Is leading by example enough? Can confidence be contagious?
Leading a team is tough, especially during tough times. But in this session moderated by Monica McNutt at Infosys Confluence Americas 2023, we were able to learn from New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson as he shared his wisdom on effective teamwork, strategy, and revealed his leadership style and hidden secrets.
Key Takeaways
Boosting Confidence Through Work Ethic
Confidence in tough situations comes from working tirelessly every day, whether it's on the field or off. It's all about that never-give-up attitude and a constant drive to get better in every aspect of the game. That’s the backbone of leadership.
Never Stop Trusting the Process
When hard times hit, don't just chase quick victories. It's better to lose while doing things the right way than to win with bad habits. It is important to remember that it's the process that counts, even if one doesn't always see results right away.
Leadership is Tailor-Made
When you're leading a team, you've got to know your crew inside out. Lead by example, adapt your leadership style to fit your teammates, and make sure everyone's shooting for the same goal. That's how you get the whole squad feeling confident.
Keep Calm and Face the Storm
In tough times, leaders stay collected. Whether things are going well or hitting a rough patch, a level-headed demeanor reassures everyone that we'll overcome obstacles together; you have to make sure your team knows they'll get through it.
Yeah, winning's great, but the process, you know, can eventually make you, help you hit the jackpot.
