This topic arrives courtesy of Coach Brook Kohlheim (@CoachKohlheim). Full Benefit derives from learning from the negative. Paul Marobella writes, "Learning leadership lessons from all corners of team-oriented situations is a passion for me."
Understanding success and failure marks leaders as they learn from mistakes and avoid repeating them.
First, a few excerpts:
"It’s a mindset that encourages one to squeeze every ounce of value from every situation. The highs, lows, and in–between hold a lesson, an opportunity for growth and learning."
"Imagine seeing a crisis not as a catastrophe but as a classroom."
"The essence of ‘Full Benefit’ lies in continuous learning, adaptation, and improvement."
This reminds me of Adam Grant's book Think Again and his advice of keeping a "rethinking scorecard." What 'truths' or widely held beliefs deserve closer scrutiny? This might represent anything:
- How important are analytics?
- Can the "Four Factors" be applied to other sports?
- Are our 'draft' or 'recruiting' principles working?
- How can we improve our player development?
- What players are 'misvalued' - over or undervalued?
- Knowing that isolation points/possession are lower than many other play types, why do NBA teams invariably choose them for the final possession? Tradition, convention, ego?
- What are examples of "sunk cost" fallacy?

Lagniappe 2. This is gold. If a team lacks the individual skills to contain and to attack, they fail.

When players approach the off-season they often focus on what skill they want to improve on and then work on it while they are playing.
Typically a player getting subbed out, or lack of playing time has more to do with Offensive concepts,… pic.twitter.com/Fo4cSaU2vs
