Join 📚 Roger's Highlights

PJ: He wasn’t resistant, but he wasn’t meant for that offense. We kind of had to gerrymander. Michael operated out of the post better than anyone I’ve ever seen coaching or playing. His elevation—he could shoot that turnaround jump shot against anyone, and he had that drop step he used until they eventually began calling traveling on him. But he was very slick and drop-stepped to his right shoulder. Then the next year we moved him down to forward and put Pippen at guard, and that made the whole difference. Pippen had a guard mentality. Pippen rebounded and could take the ball the length of the court; he was a wing runner. And then they were ready.

Back at headquarters for the Twenty-third, when Colonel Freeman heard that the patrol had been hit by a major Chinese force, he immediately ordered up an air strike. He was told by the spotter plane that at least two battalions of Chinese, perhaps even a regiment, had struck this small patrol. That made it a fight of quite possibly two to three thousand against sixty.

In this way, the presenter and audience become integrally linked to the subsequent success or failure of the initiative, or the correctness or incorrectness of a team’s business analysis. When looking at any of Amazon’s big wins, remember that every major success has gone through multiple narrative reviews; it’s likely there were meaningful contributions from the audience as well as the team. On the other hand, for every failed initiative or analysis that fell short, there were senior leaders who looked at it and thought, “This makes sense,” or, “Yes, this should work.” Either way, if the narrative process works to its fullest potential, you’re all in it together.
