You're the Reason Your Team Fails (Eric Thomas) | S2S 567

Is your team really the problem, or are you? This is the last S2S before We Is Greater Than Me drops, and CJ opens with a line ET preached the day before: if the we ain't strong, it's the me's fault.

CJ reads the Nick Saban story from page 97 of the book. Down late in a game, young Saban asked his head coach what play to call and got told: don't think of plays, think of players.

CJ explains why he stopped caring about being a famous speaker and started building himself for the we instead, down to dropping 120 pounds, because a right hand man has to look like the message. ET takes it back to Adam.

God said it was not good for man to be alone, but only after Adam spent real time alone with Him. Jesus did not start his ministry until 30.

Everybody wants to jump into a we before the me is straight. ET also shares the conversation with his daughter Jada that changed how he leads: stop being outcome driven and start trusting the process.

Then the playbook. Chick-fil-A has one and Taco Bell does not.

Jesus had a tax man, a doctor and a fisherman, not twelve carpenters. And the big one from the book: the lion has a 20 percent kill rate, the African wild dog hits 80 to 90 percent, because the dogs run a system together.
