The Linchpins.

Points scored - and even assists - (in sport and in life) are all measured and can be acknowledged and rewarded.

But what about the passes that lead to the dribbles that lead to the assists that lead to the score?

Only an astute coach or observer notices, let alone keeps count.

Otherwise those ‘link’ players’ efforts and skills go unnoticed, unacknowledged, and therefore uncultivated.

Until the game (or project) where the points aren’t there, the turnovers and errors are ‘unexplainably’ higher.

Coaches and supporters (and managers) scratch their heads.

What went wrong?

Look for the player who was injured or wasn’t in that game (or meeting, or project, or service delivery).

That’s how you discover -

The linchpins.
