I've said it before and I'll say it again: the key to successful execution in any organization is basic blocking and tackling. Why do so many business professionals struggle with this? Arguably, this is a question pondered by millions in every industry across the globe.
Saying and doing are two very different things, however. Picking up a playbook and learning to run a 3-2 dive is much easier said than effectively executed; and that is a basic play. As complexity increases, so too does the chance for error. Getting it right at the most basic level gives one a head start in doing it right at all levels.
A few years back, there was a group of fifth graders who played Pop Warner football. They were a unique group of kids who weren't big and certainly weren't fast. No one suspected that they'd be a champion team. It wasn't because this group of kids was not intelligent enough. In fact, many of them were recognized by Pop Warner as national scholar athletes who have now gone on to become members of the National Honor Society (NHS).
