Recently, I had the opportunity to chat with the dynamic sports and entertainment executive Meka Morris about sports and leadership. I asked her: What can leaders seeking to build inclusive teams learn from successful sports teams?

“Leadership is about getting people from different backgrounds and lived experiences to unite—bringing their gifts together for a shared vision and purpose. That unity is exactly what you need to foster a culture of winning. Regardless of who the players on the court or field are as individuals, it’s these talented individuals feeling empowered to bring their best selves to that shared vision every single day that creates and sustains a winning team.”
