“The culture precedes positive results. It doesn’t get tacked on as an afterthought on your way to the victory stand. Champions behave like champions before they’re champions: they have a winning standard of performance before they are winners.”
Those are the words of legendary San Francisco 49ers and L.A-born football coach Bill Walsh, and they ring true to this day.
Throughout history, the very best sports teams have managed to make their way to the top of the mountain by building a winning culture, and you can usually chart their journey to winning from long before they actually reached the summit.
