As a Brazilian and a football fan by nature, I have always believed that a coach must see beyond strategy and tactics. Great coaches recognize qualities and potential that players may not yet see in themselves. More importantly, they understand how those individual strengths interact: when properly aligned, they multiply one another; when poorly managed, they can cancel one another out. Perhaps this ability to see, combine, and elevate human potential is what truly distinguishes a legendary coach.
Dear Dr. Hong, it's interesting to draw a connection between the leadership of the sports world and that of the AI era. It's insightful to say that leaders should have a strategic vision with ethical leadership in the AI era. As ethical leadership becomes more important, business studies should provide opportunities for business students to discuss ethics in class. Thanks.
Thank you, Dr. Paul Hong for sharing this thoughtful article.
It really made me reflect on how easy it is to focus only on results—the scoreboard—while missing what actually produces those results in the first place. This piece highlights well that a team’s success is shaped not just by talent or strategy, but by the leadership and culture behind it.
I especially resonated with the idea that true leadership requires both strategic competence and strong character. Sustainable success is not built in a short moment of performance, but through consistent leadership that shapes people and culture over time.
