Ray Dalio ran Bridgewater, the largest hedge fund. He wrote a book "Principles" and preaches a five-step program.
Step 1: Know your goals.
Know what you want and choose a direction to get there. Coach Scott Celli always says, "win the final game."
Step 2: Encounter problems and fail.
Overcome inevitable failure. "Failure is not final." Keep grinding.
Step 3: Diagnose the problem’s root cause.
What is the problem, the fixable issue? Execution revolves around people, strategy, and operations.
Step 4: Design a way to get around the problem.
Be solution-oriented. Performing in the moment defines a team's legacy.
Step 5: Take action.
Work the solution. The first solution may not work. Basketball thinker Kevin Eastman says, "do it harder, do it better, change personnel, and lastly "#$%& it ain't work." Then change. One season Alyssa DiRaffaele moved from attacker to libero with great results.
Lagniappe. Service is the only part of the game during which the offense has total control. Teams have to counter that.
