The Spirit Of The Cavs

By Art van Bodegraven | 06/22/2016 | 6:54 AM

So, our youngest son asked our youngest grandchild (age 6), who would win the NBA Championship. El Colombiano answered "The Cavaliers" without missing a beat.

"Why, son?" "Because they have the spirit of catching up!" And, the Cavs went on to, for the first time in NBA history, rally from a 1-3 deficit to win the Finals four games to three.

Here's the core question. Not everyone in the supply chain can create game changers, or stake out an insurmountable competitive edge. Their success lies in their internal capacity for the spirit of catching up.

So, when all you can see are the numbers of the runners ahead of you in the great supply chain race, do you have the spirit of catching up? Is it in you, the potential for greatness built on spirit, on commitment, on determination, on the focus to marshal your abilities, and the strengths of those with whom you've surrounded yourself?

Take a hard look at LeBron, King James, and how his fans saw the spirit of catching up within him.
