Coach K. (Mike Krzyzewski) at Duke built a culture around three tenants: expect the very best from each player, team first (if you need to be an individual, don't be here), and a singular goal (winning the national championship); this type of high-performance culture has become harder to implement in 2020-2021 because companies are held accountable for delivering an experience for the individual rather than focusing on collective performance goals.
