LeBron James is one of the greatest basketball players in history.

In fact, recently, he broke Karim Abdul-Jabbar's record to become the leading scorer in the

history of basketball.

He's won four championships and has been an MVP four times in his shoe in for the Hall

of Fame.

He is also not my guest.

But Shane Batier is.

Shane is not a household name, but what Shane does is as important as what LeBron does.

Because it turns out championship teams cannot win with stars alone.

Shane Batier's ideas on teammate ship are as if not more important than what it takes

to be a leader.

We need to learn more about teammate ship.

This is a bit of optimism.

You and your career are fascinating because you've played with some of the greats.

You've played with LeBron and folks like him and we celebrate these what are often

called the leaders.

The Kobe's, the Michael Jordan's, the LeBron James's, and yet we forget that there's

a whole team that enables some of those stars to become stars.

And you talk about this thing called teammate ship versus leadership, which I find absolutely

compelling because I think it's an oft ignored subject.

I talk about Navy SEALs and high performing teams and it's amazing to me how many people

take my work and try to apply to individuals and forget that it's always about teams.
