Saturday Blueprint With Michael Lombardi (The Daily Coach: January 18, 2025)

Quotes from the Article of Interest:

1. "So much of the problem with assessment comes back to a lack of direction. If you don’t define who you intend to be, how can you ever figure out what’s wrong with your organization? Without that clarity, you’re just lost—making really good time, but going nowhere."

2. "You’ve got to create a sense of belonging so people can take coaching, not criticism. Building a team is a spiritual challenge—it’s about creating a connection that’s bigger than any one person. It’s a profound communion between people, tied to a purpose greater than themselves. When you have that, you can assess the team. Without it, you’re building on shaky ground. You might be right; you might be wrong, but there’s no real foundation."

3. "Building a winning culture comes down to these three core areas: devotion versus loyalty, accountability versus responsibility, and being on the same page versus alignment. If you don’t have these worked out—if you haven’t clearly defined them and built your organization around them—you have no chance of building a championship team, no matter how much talent you have. But when you focus on these principles, you create the right culture. And when you create the right culture, the right people will follow."
