BUILDING A 07CHAPTER
CHAMPIONSHIP
TEAM

What makes a company great? The simple answer is…
great people.

A company is successful only because the people working in
that company are successful people. A company is world-
class only because the people in that company act and behave
in a world-class way.

You can come up with the best business idea, invent the
greatest product, register the most impressive brand name,
have a beautiful office, have a great vision and mission
statement. However, if you don’t have the right people to run
the business, it will fail miserably.

A successful business is exactly like a winning sports team.
To compete with other teams, score the highest points (profits)
and win matches (i.e. market share), it all boils down to having
great players! Again, you can have the best brand name (like
Manchester United) or have the best strategies written, but if
the team manager/coach trades or recruits lousy players, the
team will lose.
