Super Bowl Leadership

With the Super Bowl behind us, there’s no better time to reflect on what makes a team truly great. Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said it best:

“You can’t be great without the greatness of others.”

That’s a lesson that applies far beyond football. In construction, business, and leadership, success is never a solo effort—it’s about building up the people around you. Recognizing young talent, sweating the details, and making sure everyone knows the plan are all part of what separates good leaders from great ones.

Wally Adamchick recently shared a post that hits home for leaders in any industry. Take a moment to read it and ask yourself:

How are you developing the greatness in your team?


“𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯’𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘴.”

The words of winning coach Nick Sirianni.
Words that anyone in any leadership position should live by.

How about 22-year-old rookie Cooper DeJean with a pick-six?

Veteran Darius Slay said:
"𝘊𝘰𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘢𝘧𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬. 𝘏𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬. 𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘪𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵. 𝘏𝘦 𝘢𝘴𝘬𝘴 𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴. 𝘞𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳."

Who is the 22-year-old on your team that you're overlooking just because they’re young? Don’t make them pay their dues forever—give them a chance.

A comment about Vic Fangio, Defensive Coordinator:
"𝘏𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘴 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨. 𝘕𝘰 𝘥𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘭 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘰𝘰 𝘴𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘭. 𝘕𝘰 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘦𝘳 𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵. 𝘏𝘦 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘦𝘭𝘴𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘰𝘰."

Another great leadership lesson right there.
Your daily huddle is THE place to make that happen.

Does everyone know the plan?

In sports, there is only one champion at the end of the season.
That’s why we love it and hate it at the same time.
KC is a great team. Last night, PHL was better. Both are great teams.

In construction, you can win every day.
✅ Bring everyone home safe.
✅ Make a profit.
✅ Teach people.
✅ Handle a tough install.

You get it.

Defense may win championships.
Great leaders make great defenses.

Great leaders make great builders, too.

👉 This is why leadership matters.
