The General Managers of the San Antonio Spurs and Philadelphia Eagles respectively.<\/p>\n<p>It felt apt, if inevitable, to kick things off with Covid-19. The impact of the pandemic is going to be felt across sport for years to come but the major leagues have now moved beyond their initial holding patterns to detail clear, if fragile, plans for the way forward. Both Wright and Roseman reflected on the uncertainty of recent months and how it sparked creativity, invention and sharpened the decision-making at two of North America\u2019s leading sports organisations.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Key Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Spurs broke down the total problem posed by the pandemic into four distinct phases:<\/p>\n<p>1. Education \u2013 players and staff were kept informed prior to the NBA\u2019s formal shutdown in March and, when the suspension officially came, the team sought counsel with experts and consultants as they looked to develop protocols and ensure all players, coaches and staff are on the same page.<\/p>\n<p>2. Athlete health conditioning and wellness \u2013 the Spurs have a firm foundation of shared leadership and were able to jump into planning mode. In short order, the organisation set up remote training environments and provided virtual assistance in terms of such considerations as nutrition and mental health<\/p>\n<p>3. Engagement \u2013 Spurs Head Coach Gregg Popovich is an intentional leader and there were efforts to create a virtual locker room where players were engaged as people first and players second.<\/p>\n<p>4. Creating testing protocols \u2013 from that base, our building can be adapted to ensure health and safety upon our return.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rather than hinder communication, Roseman has found that remote communication has enabled him and his staff to become better listeners and people have been able to better articulate their vision. A growth mindset was a prerequisite.<\/li>\n<li>You no longer have to guard your desk. Time in the office can better be spent at home with your families and this could be an opportunity establish a work-life balance that challenges the existing culture.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/p>\n                                <\/div>\n                            \n                            \n                            \n                                                    <\/div>\n                                        <div class=\"col visibly-hidden col--flex-align-right\">\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":2411,"menu_order":0,"template":"","categories":[20,33],"pathway":[],"topic":[],"sport":[],"class_list":["post-2410","vlog","type-vlog","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-leadership-culture-performance","category-summit-session"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Virtual Leaders Meet Total High Performance: Reinventing &amp;
