Unity.
How do the best leaders build it?
Break out the guitar and sing Kum-ba-yah?
Not unless you’re leading a church campfire sing-along.
In his book Eleven Rings, legendary basketball coach Phil Jackson suggests using the symbolism of the circle.
While coach of the Chicago Bulls, Jackson started each practice by gathering the players and coaches in a circle at the center of the court to discuss goals for the day. He ended practices the same way.
Jackson got the idea from the Lakota Indian warriors who always gathered in a circle because they believed it was within a circle that power flowed.
Life is a circle. The Earth is a circle. You get the idea…
Even if you’re not planning a horseback raid, try harnessing the power of the circle to build unity on your team.
