How’s your team built?

Do you have an employee who elevates everyone else? Someone considered a ‘glue’ employee, the person who holds the team together and makes everyone else better?

Let me start by saying something shocking and unfortunate for me: I’m a Dallas Cowboys fan. I know, it’s a hard existence, but I embrace it.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve heard multiple sportscasters talk about Dak Prescott, the Quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, as a player who makes the team better. For example, the Cowboys were missing their best wide receiver—one of the top receivers in the game—and Dak played just as well without him by elevating the other players.

He caught the attention of sports fans and pundits, who were shocked that the Cowboys' second-best receiver, George Pickens, had stepped up and filled the role of Ceedee Lamb, the injured receiver.

Dak Prescott is an informal leader who drives the team's performance. He makes the team better. His head coach has a chance to win every week because he has a player who brings out the best in everyone else on the team.

Dak Prescott is a force multiplier for the Dallas Cowboys. Every great team has one. A force multiplier is someone who amplifies the results of everyone else around them.

So let me ask you this:

Until next time,
