Kris Dunn explained how on Workforce.com in “Why HR Should Love the New England Patriots”. A few points from the article stood out. First of all, they have 30% turnover. Pretty significant. Yet, they are incredibly successful. How?

They have a culture that is team-based from the top down. Successes are attributed to the team, not one player. And while they hire superstars, everyone works to imbue the culture on each team member. They hire “we”s, not “I”s. There is more to it, but this aspect stood out as the strongest.

Can you create a team that takes you to your own version of the Superbowl?
