“The Guru of NBA Defense” is how Raptors coach Nick Nurse recently referred to Ron Adams, assistant coach for the Golden State Warriors whose time with the franchise has included 3 NBA championships. Ron has coached not only Steph Curry and Kevin Garnett, but David Robinson, Ray Allen, and James Harden. In this wide-reaching conversation, Ron discusses with Kenning Partner Daryl Ogden how he builds rapport with players, especially superstars.
Are superstars just regular people, or should they be given extra privileges? How does Ron span the chasm of his years of experience and rural upbringing to speak with today’s young stars? Why was being left-handed a good way to build camaraderie with James Harden? How can you develop relationships with your stars while telling them the truth? What is the role of authenticity in leadership, and how can you build an inclusive culture, one founded on joy?
Join Ron and Daryl as they discuss this and more, and hear how Daryl and Mike Merrill apply Ron’s NBA wisdom to common business challenges.
