The strongest teams are often built by people who are willing to do the unglamorous work.
In this Out of the System episode, Steve Govett reflects on his years in lacrosse, from being one of the “grinders” on championship teams to leading organizations from the front office. He shares why great chemistry is not magic, why every role matters, and why leaders have to understand the people behind the performance.
The conversation goes deep into the realities of leadership, including hard conversations, ego, team fit, losing, accountability, virtual work, and why championship culture cannot simply be copied. Steve also opens up about the exhaustion of being constantly “on” as a leader and how modern teams require a different kind of connection, communication, and adaptability.

His philosophy centers on connection, accountability, hard conversations, and building organizations like puzzle pieces—where every person has to fit, contribute, and understand their role.
