But in order for organizations to successfully compete, employees must work seamlessly as a team. So, how do employees of an “I” culture let go of an inherent self-interest that permeates the business culture? Perhaps lessons can be drawn from professional sports, where effective teamwork is the only way to win. After coaching collegiate and professional football teams for more than 30 years, Brian Billick is a master at building winning teams. He shares:
How to merge a group of “individual contractors” into a functioning team;
His method for ensuring that a team strives toward a common goal;
Ways to emphasize the primacy of that goal;

Every time I call it a game, you call it a business.” Millions of NFL fans watch pro football annually, and the sport grosses billions of dollars each year. Whether you call football a business or a game, money influences how decisions are made. Brian Billick, one of professional football’s most gifted coaches and now a FOX Sports analyst, shares:
An assessment of the current dynamics in the NFL;
His insights into the future of professional sports amid high-profile business and entertainment pressures;
