Leaders waste so much time, energy, and effort evaluating team members. They are making a critical topic much more complicated than it needs to be.
As lovely as it would be to have a smooth, easy path to success as a leader, failure is an inevitable part of the process. The stories of some of the great leaders of all time are filled with more failures than success. Take Abraham Lincoln, for example; he was defeated or rejected from public office seven times before ever being elected as the President of the United States at age 51. A combination of his determination and the ability to learn from earlier failures was key to his eventual success as a leader.
The proof of James’s leadership approach is in his results both on and off the basketball floor.
