LeBron James and the Code

Not long ago LeBron James held a dinner at his house for the team.  He stood up during the meal and systematically addressed each member of the team and told them why they were important to the team, and that if they all did their part a championship was possible.  The Code says, “I will put team goals ahead of personal goals.”  LeBron wanted to win a championship, but he knew he could only do that if everyone was fully committed.  LeBron did not inspire his team to victory through brilliant play, although that certainly helped; more importantly, he had communicated that he needed each person, and had sent that message many times, not just at that dinner.  Just as players play for the coach, and play to support a great leader, they also play to support each other.  All are important.  How can you make your team a better team? Are there issues that need to be addressed?  How can that best be done?  Are there individuals that you can speak to?
