EVENT RECAP: NBA LEGEND THURL BAILEY TEACHES LEADERSHIP AND TEAMWORK!

You can't underestimate the importance of clarity of purpose, preparation, and effective communication while building a team. These are essential for leaders who are looking to build effective, high-performing and committed teams.

NBA Legend, Thurl Bailey, has built his fair share of high-performing teams... both on the court and off. Bailey is not only one of the most recognized Utah Jazz players, but is a successful entrepreneur, businessman and speaker. Twice Bailey has led teams from far behind to win national championships. His courtesy and integrity both on and off the court, along with his strong sense of community have led to numerous civic recognitions, along with the nickname "NBA's Mr. Nice Guy."

In addition to leaders holding high ethical standards, honesty and integrity, Bailey taught chamber members about the importance of taking risks, being committed to your business and team, and having unprecedented follow-through. He taught that opportunities will present themselves when we least expect it. Be ready to jump on those opportunities when they arise. Some will be monument wins and others will be painful losses, but each opportunity will teach us invaluable lessons that will shape us into authentic, powerful leaders.

Is Chinese Power About to Peak?

"The rise of China has been a defining feature of the world for the past four decades. Since the country began to open up and reform its economy in 1978, its gdp has grown by a dizzying 9% a year, on average. That has allowed a staggering 800m Chinese citizens to escape from poverty. Today China accounts for almost a fifth of global output. The sheer size of its market and manufacturing base has reshaped the global economy. Xi Jinping, who has ruled China for the past decade, hopes to use his country’s increasing heft to reshape the geopolitical order, too. There is just one catch: China’s rapid rise is...."

How to Evolve Your Organization's Culture Without Losing Its Essence

"For a founder, few things are more challenging than ceding control of a company built tirelessly, often over a lifetime. However, nothing is more necessary if the founder plans to scale their business. And while entrepreneurs usually understand on a fundamental level that the culture that got them "here" won't take them "there," they worry about how to grow while maintaining the essence of their organizations.
