Leaders aren’t born. Some people are born with traits or characteristics that help them be better leaders. Just because someone has charisma or is verbally motivational, doesn’t necessarily mean they are better leaders. There are numerous ways to motivate, persuade, and drive others to be great or build the team.
There is an art and a science to leadership. The best leaders are great at understanding both.
I do agree that you can’t force someone to be a leader if they don’t want to be. It can blow up in everyone’s face. However, if they want to do it, they’ll need to be challenged to improve their shortcomings.
I think all of us can agree that Geno is great at pushing the right buttons to help our players grow into the best versions of themselves both on and off the court.
