As you gather your coffee this Monday with us, think about what leadership truly looks like on a big-stage day like yesterday: in the grit and grind of a championship clash where every play — even field goals and third-and-longs — are tests of preparation, resilience, and trust in your team. In the midst of the Super Bowl, where underdogs and favorites alike have beaten the odds to reach the title game, the leaders on both sideline and locker room remind us that leadership isn’t just about charisma or flash — it’s about creating belief, steadiness, and a shared sense of purpose when outcomes are uncertain. Teams like the Seahawks and Patriots have demonstrated that leaders who cultivate a culture where every player understands their role, trusts each other, and stays rooted in preparation can navigate pressure with confidence and poise.
Happy Monday, and here’s to leading with purpose this week.
