We all saw the amazing Super Bowl LIX win from the Philadelphia Eagles this year (Go Birds!). This team was great because they had excellent players – it would be hard to find another team in the NFL this year which had more individual talent on its roster. But what made them really special was the fact that their greatness transcended their individual talents, thanks to the leadership that brought those individual players together as an exceptional team.
This video offers a look behind the scenes at how head coach Nick Sirianni and the players themselves, always rely on the team before the individual. In the video Sirianni leads the team through a visualization of their greatest football moment. He invites them to embody that moment – remembering where they were, who they were playing, what they were wearing – and to reflect on who helped them get there. It’s a powerful reminder for all of us that we’re all connected and need each other to succeed. As Sirianni says:
Sometimes you, sometimes me, always us. I can’t be great, without the greatness of others.
This sentiment is as true in business as it is in sports. While individual talent is important, the best businesses prosper because they operate as a team. In business, if you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go as a team.
