By way of reminder…
1981.
North Carolina.
Michael Jordan is walking off the court after a high school tournament game. He sees Bob Gibbons, the dean of scouts if you will, and asks him two questions. What did you think of my game, AND what can I do to improve?
Thirty years later, Gibbons recalls this moment with crystal clarity. In George Anders book, The Rare Find, Gibbons stated, “It’s so rare to see that. Most players want to brag about their dunks. He didn’t. He wanted to get better.”
You don’t need me to conduct a formal 360 for you. You want to get better? Get busy seeking feedback yourself. Sure, I can help but you can really help yourself by making this one of your durable disciplines.
Remember, Wheaties is NOT the breakfast of champions. That’s just the power of good advertising. The real breakfast of champions is feedback.
Have some for breakfast this morning…
