Three Things: The first place Giants secret - Nick Saban on building teams - Accountability as fuel

Three Things I Learned In Saas, Sports Tech and Live Events: 1) The SF Giants are in first place thanks to cast of pitchers having career years. How? How can we do this in our business? Get everyone doing what they're best at and clear off the rest of their plate. Very similar to what Jobs did when he returned to Apple with the iMac. Find what we're best at - a simple hack 2) "We're not looking for a team full of exceptions" - Kirby Smart in the early days of the Alabama dynasty. The Tide were getting pressure for not recruiting some media darling recruits. That pressure grows in the early days. Exceptions and exceptional are different things. That pressure was very real for us. 3) Nobody likes accountability but everyone likes winning. Can't win without accountability, no matter how many surveys tell us we all, and our staffs, don't want it. When leading a bible study for 10 years, that weekly stake in ground made me do the work when I didn't want to. Next thing you know, you'll have years of three things to share with your loved ones.
