Josh Harris’ Post

The Lakers just showcased a masterclass in how NOT to recruit top sales leadership. - Offer them limited assets (40 yr old Lebron & injury prone AD aren't winning the west) - Present them with an environment that doesn't match their strengths (Hurly coaches HARD. How would that mesh with this roster?) - Offer mediocre compensation (Lakers offered him less than Monty Williams received with the Pistons) - Get tunnel vision on one candidate and leave yourself with no backup candidates and no leverage in negotiation. If I'm the Lakers GM & ownership, I offer to clean house & load up Hurly with draft picks. I'd also offer him a contract of 10+ years to show that the commitment to the rebuild is real. Alas, just like most SaaS leadership, the Lakers weren't willing to make that investment in a top performer and will now likely be stuck with someone unqualified for the role (JJ Redick).

One of the arguments being made for giving hundreds of millions in handouts for the Brewers' stadium is that the team would leave if they don't get it. Complicating this argument is that MLB's current collective bargaining agreement includes plans to expand to 32 teams, meaning that in order for the Brewers to move, 3 additional MLB cities, ownership groups, and stadia would have to be secured in the next few years. There are currently only 4 realistic candidates, none of them in proven MLB markets. We have much more leverage in this situation than some will admit. Whatever public financing is approved for the Brewers must come with tangible public benefits in addition to a renegotiation and extension of the current lease.

Sports and life have so many correlations.

As a proud England fan and classic armchair manager (like many of us!), here are my thoughts before tonight’s match: We’ve been playing people out of position and overly defensive, despite having some of the world's best midfielders and strikers. It's time to be faster and more aggressive! Just like in business, being overly defensive can hold back a team’s true potential, you can't win by just playing it safe. Success comes from leveraging your strengths, taking calculated risks, and being proactive. I’m a great believe in failing fast, we’ve navigated the group stage, hopefully learned from our mistakes, and now it's time to push forward with confidence. Whether on the pitch or in the boardroom, balance defense with offense to achieve greatness. Come on, England! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🙌 #LeadershipLessons #FailFast #Euros #ThreeLions #BusinessStrategy #TeamSpirit

That is trust and confidence in one
