The Long Game of Leadership

Great leaders aren’t born overnight—they’re forged over decades.

What does it take to go from good to great?

Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie learned that it wasn’t just about talent or resources—it was about playing the long game of leadership:

  • Choosing the right coach.
  • Aligning his inner circle.
  • Taking bold risks with players and plays.

The payoff? A Super Bowl win that had eluded the team for decades.

Michael Useem reminds us: “There’s no medication to make you a leader, no pill you can take. It’s often a lifelong process.”

Leadership isn’t a title—it’s a daily practice of vision, strategy, decision-making, and communication.

Think about the “long game” in your own career. What leadership skill are you actively sharpening today that will pay dividends five years from now
