LIKE
LIKE DEROSEN, ALDRIDGE, WE ARE NOT SAYING, WE ARE JUST SAYING.
THE WOLVES ARE 7-2 SINCE
DUMPING BUTLER OFF ON THE
76ERS.
76ERS.
76ERS. WHICH BRINGS AN INTERESTING
QUESTION IN.
QUESTION IN. MAYBE WE CAN ALL LEARN FROM
WITH REGARDS TO THE WORKPLACE.
WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT?
TALENT OR CULTURE?
BEFORE YOU HEAR THIS, TRY NOT
TO THINK ABOUT BASKETBALL BUT
RATHER THINK ABOUT YOUR
WORKPLACE.
WORKPLACE. >> HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE WHAT
HAPPENED TODAY?
HAPPENED TODAY? >> A LOT OF IT IS TRUE.
>> OKAY THAT WAS PRESEASON
JIMMY BUTLER AND WHAT HR
MANAGER MIGHT DESCRIBE AS A
TOXIC WORK ENVIRONMENT.

AT.
AT.
AT. >>
AT. >> Reporter: BUTLER WAS THE
MOST TALENTED ON THE TEAM.
DID NOT HAVE RESPECT FOR
MANAGEMENT, THE TEAM IN TURN
FELT SLIGHTED BY HIS REACTION.
DESPITE WHAT MANY OF US THOUGHT
AT THE TIME -- >> CAN
THEY WIN WITHOUT HIM?
>> NO.
>> NO.
>> NO. OKAY THEN.
OKAY THEN. >> THE WOLVES ARE 7-2.
THEY ARE ROLLING.
>> WHAT DOES IT SHOW PEOPLE
ABOUT TEAM WORK IN GENERAL?
AND TEAM ENVIRONMENT?
>> I THINK IT SHOWS THAT,
AGAIN, MAYBE CULTURE IS A LOT
STRONGER THAN SOME PEOPLE MAYBE
GIVE IT CREDIT FOR.
>> Reporter: THIS IS WHY THIS
PROFESSIONAL HEADHUNTER SAYS
ATTITUDE AND WORK ETHIC ARE THE
TOP QUALITIES IN A JOB
CANDIDATE.
CANDIDATE. >> THE DEFINITION OF TEAM.
NOT ABOUT EQUAL GIFTS THAT
PEOPLE BRING TO A TEAM.
EVERYONE HAS DIFFERENT GIFTS TO
BRING.
BRING.
BRING. IT
BRING. IT IS ABOUT EQUAL GIVE.
IF EVERYONE IN THE TEAM IS NOT
GIVING THE SAME AMOUNT THAT
RUINS A TEAM.
THAT IS WHAT JIMMY'S PERCEPTION
WAS.
WAS.
WAS. HE
WAS. HE DID NOT THINK EVERYBODY WAS
GIVING AS MUCH AS HE DID AND
THAT KILLED THE TEAM
IMMEDIATELY.
IMMEDIATELY. >> HOW CAN MANAGERS IMPROVE
CULTURE?
CULTURE?
CULTURE? >> THE BEST THING THEY CAN DO
IS BE CONSISTENT IN THEIR
VISION.
VISION.
VISION. ANY FAVORITISM CAN ERODE
CULTURE.
CULTURE.
CULTURE. IF YOU HAVE A DEFINED VISION
AND YOU ARE CONSISTENT IN YOUR
APPROACH AS TO HOW YOU MANAGED
THAT VISION THAT IS WHAT WILL
HELP YOUR CULTURE WITHIN YOUR
ORGANIZATION.
ORGANIZATION. >> WHAT IS THE BIGGEST THING
THAT WOULD MAKE AN EMPLOYEE
RESPECT THEIR EMPLOYER OR
MANAGER?
MANAGER?
MANAGER? >> CO-RESPECT.
>> CO-RESPECT. IF YOU FEEL RESPECTED YOU WILL
RESPECT SOMEONE ELSE.
>> TALENTED PEOPLE WITH POOR
ATTITUDES IT IS RARELY
SOMETHING THAT CAN BE FIXED.
ESPECIALLY IF THE DAMAGE IS
DONE.
DONE.
DONE. >>
DONE. >> THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT
NAILS IN THE FENCE, RIGHT?
IF THERE IS THAT NAIL IN THE
WOODEN FENCE YOU CAN PULL THE
NAIL OUT BUT THE HOLE IS STILL
THERE.
THERE.
THERE. >>
THERE. >> WE CAN ALL LEARN A LOT.

DRAMA. >>
DRAMA. >> THE COACH AODZ.
>> IF JIMMY GOES I GO.
>> WHAT IS THAT?
UNFAIR TREATMENT.
UNFAIR TREATMENT. >> I WONDER WHAT THE REST OF
THE TEAM THOUGHT ABOUT IT AT
THE TIME IF THEY ARE OVER IT OR
WHATEVER.
WHATEVER.
WHATEVER. I WOULD SAY IT ON THE RECORD.
EATING A LOT OF CROW LATELY.
RANDY AND I WERE BOTH DEAD
