If you are not a regular reader and listener of Warren Sharp, you are missing out. From an analytical perspective, I feel he breaks the game of professional football, its teams, and their players down into behavioral and performance trends better than anyone. Therefore, he has a unique perspective on predicting future performance for both the players and teams.

In the tweet shown above and its attached audio, Sharp breaks down what has been the Patriots’ key to success these past two decades. The applications are significant for leaders.
The following 8 practices of creative and successful teams we glean from the interview provided. All quotes are from Sharp.
- Creative And Successful Teams Do Not Have Preconceived Notions – “They are just a really creative team that doesn’t have preconceived notions as to what they’re going to do.”
- Creative And Successful Teams Figure Out The Easiest Paths To Victory – “They are always trying to figure out what is the easiest path to victory”
- Creative And Successful Teams Always Have Backup Plans – “and they have backup game plans in mind. If this doesn’t work, they’re going to go with that.”
- Creative And Successful Teams Adjust Based Upon The Opponent – “And they don’t care if … you know some coaches are like, ‘This is what we do so this is how we’re going to do it.’ These guys change it up based upon their opponent.”
- Creative And Successful Teams Are Open-Minded – “Because they were so open-minded”
- Creative And Successful Teams Are Curious – “and eager to scout”
- Creative And Successful Teams Constantly Adjust – “and create mismatches and know where to do things and how to adjust on a week-to-week basis and in-games”
- Creative And Successful Teams Open Up A Lot More Opportunities For Themselves – “they’ve opened up a lot more opportunities for themselves.”
