Atlanta Braves GM, John Schuerholz, in his book, "Built To Win" discusses the tasks of building a winning team, company or organization--as follows:
1. Create a new vision.
2. Establish organizational goals.
3. Develop a roadmap, or game plan, for success.
4. Inspire the staff.
5. Provide the leadership.
In the book, he says he came to Atlanta and had to somehow get rid of the losing mentality that the organization suffered from. First he had to defeat and eradicate apathy. Then next thing, he said he had to be able to convince people that they had the ability within themselves, individually and as a group, to be better and to achieve more.
Winners make commitments, losers make excuses. That was the theme and principal theory he utilized throughout the transformation. He had to create an environment in which new and higher goals were set, expectations raised, and, of course, the necessary work ethic and commitment were put into place.
