Meaningful Moments in the Inner Circle

He’s the former President of Basketball Operations for the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers. Donnie Walsh invited me into his office in Indianapolis’ Market Square Arena. Mr. Walsh had just turned down a significant offer that many would view as a critical need for the Indiana Pacers; however, Donnie turned down the offer. He told me and my mentor David Craig that his decision was based in this statement. Donnie reflectively stated “if I don’t have the highest level of value of the Indiana Pacers then who will”. It has been in moments such as these within the inner circle of business and sport that I have learned how to treat people, make a deal, manage crisis and see high performing individuals and organizations. Re-visiting these moments and delivering the lessons learned to organizations and groups is important to me.
