Just heard a great interview on a former player about Bill Belichick, the head coach of the New England Patriots. He made a great point – he said if you spend 5 minutes with Coach that you can tell he is very intellectual, as “bright as they come” kind of coach. That said, prior to the game, he would break everyone’s assignments down to three key parts. Do those 3 things well and you will win. Simple, right?
Made me think of some great advice from a former boss – ask someone to do three things and all three things will get done. Ask someone to do five things and none of them will get done.
Again, life imitates sports…Keep it simple, smarty….
