People enjoy seeing success happen and love a winner. Whether it’s on the field or in business, there is exhilaration and inspiration in triumph.
It is a beautiful thing to watch a team reach its full potential and execute a plan with precision. We saw that in this thus far perfect 13-0 season for the LSU football team, including a No. 1 ranking heading into the playoffs. We are all proud and congratulate the team, writes Business Report Publisher Rolfe McCollister in his new column.
There has been a plethora of national and SEC honors earned as well as team and conference records broken, but everyone from coach Ed Orgeron to Heisman winner Joe Burrow to Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Ja’Marr Chase, Grant Delpit and Derrick Stingley Jr. have checked their egos at the door, instead pointing to the team as deserving the praise and credit.
There are so many great stories and lessons all can learn from this team and its journey. This team worked together, with each player, coach and member of the support staff doing their part game after game. The dedication and hard work in the spring, and summer, and in the film room by players and coaches was evident. Preparation was key to their success—as it is to all of us in business and life.
That could be the same formula for building a winning business, school, charity, university or community. So while we cheer and enjoy watching the Tigers win on the road to being the best in the land, let’s also learn from their example of excellence and success, McCollister writes.
