Do you know "suites"?

There's science behind why winners keep winning - ​check out this article by BusinessInsider​.
He goes up to his boss Jessica, and says to her that he wants his name on the door, as a managing partner.
She then proceeds to tell Harvey a story about Michael Jordan because she knew this day would come.
Looking up from her desk, Jessica asks, “Harvey, what was Michael Jordan’s record on the Bulls?”
“664 wins, 285 losses.” Harvey confidently responded.
“More than twice as many wins and losses. Do you know what his record was in the front office?”
“No.”
“185 wins to 291 losses. Almost twice as many losses as wins.”
The lesson Jessica was getting to is that just because someone is a star on the court doesn’t mean they can translate their skills off the court - even if it's the same industry and passion. It's just different skills, psychology, and different experiences.
Some people are better off playing than they are managing the game.
Success on the meters doesn’t always translate to success in a leadership role.
Just food for thought.

I hope you keep winning and doing what you love!
Yours forever,
