I went playing basketball twice this weekend. This morning, I suddenly grasped some meaning from my favorite sport. On the court, we usually play 3 on 3 games. Some teams are made by gathering 3 strangers, but other teams’ players are acquaintances. For me, I am usually with strangers.

On the weekend, there always come many people to play, so there may be 4 or 5 teams playing together on the same court. That means if you lose a game, you have to take a long break. Sometimes I am lucky to be with someone who has correct basketball concept and good skills, so we can win all the way. But if not, I have to work really hard to “create some miracles.” However, I never give up any chance to keep staying on the court, even when the situation is bad for us (like 0-5 lag behind).

If we can quantify a player’s basketball skills, I would like the 70-70-70 combination instead of the 90-80-50 one. You know why? Your rivals will attack the 50-point to make you helpless (of course I am not the weakness). Besides, the internal gap will be backward for communication. A hot managerial book <> also discusses about the first important thing that the good-to-great companies concern is the right people, not the big vision or any business strategy. This concept is really touching for me, and I also agree that it works when playing team sports.

I am not to blame my co-players, and that isn’t my real intention. I just rethink about myself all the time that if I am the weakness. On the court, I am sure I’m not a weakness. Wish in the company that I were not, either.
