Your Teams Don’t Suck — Their Leaders Might

In football, like all sports, talent matters — but it’s not what wins championships.

What wins is structure. Alignment. Clear leadership.

Every unit — offense, defense, special teams — has its own playbook, coach, and responsibilities. But they’re united around one goal: winning the game.

Now imagine if the offensive line didn’t know the quarterback’s plan.

Or the defensive coordinator skipped practice.

The game would fall apart — fast.

That’s what happens in most companies.

Most Teams Aren’t Losing Because of Talent — They’re Losing Because of Leadership

We pour money into culture initiatives and training programs. We run engagement surveys and talk about alignment. But we often ignore the most critical role in team performance: the manager.

When managers aren’t clear, equipped, or supported, teams drift:

• Goals become murky

• Accountability fades

• Culture weakens

• Results stall

And yet, most companies assume that once a manager is trained, they’re set.

Like leadership is a static skill — not an evolving responsibility.

But here’s the hard truth: most teams have no idea how well they’re being led.

No scoreboard. No post-game review. Just... vibes.

Great Teams Don’t Guess. They Measure.

High-performing teams are built like high-performing sports programs — they review film, check the stats, and coach every play.

That’s where SKOR helps.

SKOR gives companies a structured way to understand how teams are functioning — and how leadership is showing up in real time.

It determines how managers/leaders lead their people/teams, and asks the team members, how they are being led, providing a 360 on team evaluation.

And it doesn’t rely on a one-size-fits-all view.

Leaders and their teams are assessed differently, because effective leadership isn’t self-reported — it’s experienced.

The result? Teams start to operate like units on a mission.

Leaders get better, faster. And the organization plays — and wins — like it’s built to.

If you want better performance, don’t just train your team. Coach the managers (coaches).

Then measure what matters.
