In this episode of The Daily Coach: Sports Leadership Lessons, we revisit how tempo became a competitive advantage during the rise of the Los Angeles Lakers under Coach Jack McKinney. Drawing from both basketball and military doctrine, this episode explores why speed without clarity fails, but speed paired with simple principles creates chaos for opponents. Great leaders do not try to control every moment. They create direction, empower quick decisions, and move faster than the environment around them. Tempo, when aligned with purpose, becomes a force multiplier in leadership and life.
