In this episode of the Building Better Humans podcast, Glenn walks us through the three non-negotiable standards that legendary All Blacks coach Sir Steve Hansen used to take the team to unprecedented success. These principles apply to any team, family or organization looking to establish a winning culture.
Glenn focuses this episode on upholding standards, arguing that "the standards you walk past are the ones you accept." He highlights how former All Blacks coach Sir Steve Hansen instilled three non-negotiable standards in the team: the team comes first, the team must have alignment, and standards must be player-driven. Hansen allowed debate and disagreement, but insisted on commitment once a decision was made. He empowered players to hold each other accountable. Asa reflects on how these principles of accountability and unity can raise the standards in any team or organization.
