Gemba Academy Podcast: Lean Six Sigma | Toyota Kata | Productivity | Leadership
Most organizations spend enormous energy developing leaders and almost none developing teammates. Stanford Associate Head Men’s Basketball Coach Eric Reveno has spent 30 years watching what actually determines whether a team wins or collapses, and his answer is not the coach. The conversation moves from college basketball to NIL compensation to Michael Jordan to what you should do first when you walk into a struggling team. The thread running through all of it is the same uncomfortable idea: the people in the room are more responsible for the culture than anyone standing at the front of it.
“Everyone’s true agency and true ability to change their future and create the world they want, it lies in their ability to be a great teammate.” – Eric Reveno
If Eric’s point about teammate behavior being undertaught resonated, the School of Leadership is a direct next step for practitioners who want to build the kind of team culture he describes rather than just study it.

In your organization, who carries more responsibility for the team’s culture: the leader at the front of the room, or the teammates deciding what they will and will not tolerate?
