Welcome to The  CRC  Team Channel. Successful organizations have a couple things in common. Strong leadership structure with people understanding what the organization's purpose is and what the brand represents to its customers. On the other side, talent that is skilled in delivering goods and services to its customers that need and want.  What makes this possible is effective leadership cultures that guide their operations and behaviors. Executives set the standards and core values. Middle management contribute by constructing tasks and assignments that deliver on these standards. Finally, the talent completes those assignments not just to check the box, but to deliver to customers in a manner that reflects core values.  Please experience the featured content.   The key is having an effective leadership culture, not necessarily the perfect leadership culture. While we chase perfection, we cannot allow that pursuit to complete cloud what may...

       Welcome to The  CRC  Team Channel. The Dallas Mavericks roller coaster of a season is over. Following a one-sided victory by the Memphis Grizzlies in the final play-in game and last chance to make the field. Of course, a year after they made a run to the NBA Finals and positioned themselves to potentially return. In February, the Dallas Mavericks were in playoff contention. Near the top of the conference rankings, despite key players missing time. I am not sure if anyone would have been surprised if the team as constructed heading into the month made another run. But that would not be the case.  The controversial trade of a generational superstar before the trade deadline change the trajectory of the team and the league in terms of ratings. The NBA reportedly saw a dip of 2% in ratings, based on recent comments by Commissioner Adam Silver. But, the damage was limited because of the new interest by a seemingly one-sided trade.  Luka Doncic, ...

     Welcome to The  CRC  Team Channel. The greatest record in all of sports was broken this past weekend, when Alexander Ovechkin broke Wayne Gretzky's 894 goals. In the past 2 years, we have seen unbreakable records get broken, but in basketball, scoring has been rising so it was not that surprising. Scoring goals in hockey is challenging.  Please experience the new episode that was released earlier this week.   In this week's episode, the NCAA basketball champions are also addressed. Social media had some issue with Dawn Staley's reaction to the blowout loss to UCONN. Also, the NBA is starting a weird trend of playoff teams firing coaches a few weeks before the end of the season. 

    Welcome to The  CRC  Team Channel. Their are at it again. But, so far the reasonable minds have been able to hold off those afraid of a challenge and innovation. We are seeing the privilege in some NFL teams who think that they should not have to face challenges, despite the evidence negating their argument. Is baseball going to be the same way against modernization of equipment? Please experience the new episode that was released earlier this week and format of our podcast below.   In this week's episode, I consider the potential impact that recent changes in the college sports landscape had on the recent NCAA tournament. There were no real upsets this year and it has many pundits upset. Please enjoy.

     Welcome to The  CRC  Team Channel. I believe that our society encourages many individuals to externalize responsibility for every facet of daily life outward. For instance, we may hear people blame traffic for the reason they are considerably late for everything, ignoring the fact that they leave later than they should and there was no significant change in traffic volume and patterns when they make this claim. My personal favorite for my own self-justification is projecting blame on the tempting nature of certain food, rather than accepting blame for me not choosing the healthy option when I gain weight. Just because there is an excuse does not mean it is the reason. There is always a choice in any event that we could make to improve a situation or make matters worse. Always a perspective of how we can take greater agency over the outcomes in our life rather than believing that everything is up to fate. Everything happens for a reason and our choices tend ...

  Welcome to The  CRC  Team Channel. In this week’s discussion, the topic of fairness in how college sports select their playoff fields. Unlike professional leagues, the NCAA uses committees for at least football and basketball, which always leads to interesting debates. Please experience the new episode that was released earlier this week and format of our podcast below.   In this week's episode, I consider the broader impact and consequences that arise from being selected oolr snubbed. The program, coaches, and players can face completely different futures depending on what a committee decides. Please enjoy.

   Welcome to The  CRC  Team Channel. What is my economic perspective on some of the division in our society? A major contributor to the problem is the inability to see another person’s point of view or respect the right for people to hold an opposing viewpoint is something common over our history. People are quick to defend their perspective as the only way to view every issues and situation. The open minded era is over to some degree. How many times do we see people hear something and immediately call the messenger stupid, naive, or other ad hominem attacks without truly understanding their position? Are they really any those simply because you do not understand where they are coming from. Too many people want to be right or viewed as intellectually superior without actually being either. To make matters worse, people on either side at times use their positions of influence or platforms to attempt at bullying the other side into accepting positions they disagree an...

Welcome to The CRC Team Channel. I believe that sports fans have more interest in the NFL offseason than the happenings in the regular season of other sports leagues. Speaking for myself, I have changed the channel on basketball games to hear the news of free agent signings.  Please experience the new episode that was released earlier this week and format of our podcast below. New episodes every Monday.     In this week's episode, I discussed the current events taking place in our policy arena. Focused on the events around the speech, the response, and policy changes that are taking place. Please enjoy.

  Welcome to The CRC Team Channel The Brotherly Shove is being threatened once again by an N-F-L team that originally did not want to disclose its involvement. The Brotherly Shove is a football play that shows without a shadow of a doubt who truly came to play football for that game and who may prefer something less physical. Click  here  to listen to my full take. Welcome.  Just like a millennial, the Green Bay Packers tried to overcome adversity by asking the authorities to remove it from their path. Rather than overcoming it and persevering like competitive teams prefer to do.  Click  here  for my quick take!
