Assists

Are you quick to give it up? 

A BYU study on basketball teams and their outcomes found that when it comes to winning,  passing the ball to make a basket is more important than actually taking the shot. The more assists a team has, the more likely a team will win.

We know this to be true by looking at who earned the most assists in the NBA 2020-2021 season. With 684 assists, it was Lebron James who led the Lakers to their 17th championship ring. If you want to win, you have to give it up. 

When members of an organization put more focus on assisting each other than on their personal stats, they tend to go further faster. 

What do assists look like in your business? It could look like helping others in small ways that add large value. Passing the ball could look like stepping outside of your role to support a team member who could use an extra set of hands. By anticipating the needs of the team, you will be alley-ooping nonstop.
