We talk alot about teamwork, responsibility and accountability, but there is a great article in Bloomberg that drives the point home. Courtney Paris is a young basketball star at the University of Oklahoma, and she can teach us all something about accountability. A quick note: the University would not accept her repayment, so she opened a charitable fund for the money.  Awesome!

The publishers of Coach Mike Krzyzewski’s book, The Gold Standard: Building a World-class Team, tease the newly published book with these words: “Coach K had to work with huge egos and personal rivalries in order to create an American team that could win against the best competition in the world and restore Team USA to the gold standard of basketball.” Wow, take out a few words and I’ll wager that sounds like a familiar challenge.
