Last night the Celtics beat the LA Lakers in a tremendously hard fought, exciting basketball game. Both teams played well and in the end, the Celtics won. They won because in the fourth quarter their bench strength (the depth of their talent roster) demonstrated why they would be part of the starting five of any other NBA team. To win in sports and in business you need excellence and you need depth.
At CloudSwitch we have some incredibly talented technical talent that working on the frontier of Cloud technology. This talent is not limited to the “starting five” - we have the technical depth throughout the entire team. My experience in leading teams over the past two decades is that serious technical talent wants to work with the best people. They want to be challenged and they want to challenge others. It is this passion and desire that will drive us to deliver products that will help enterprises realize the benefits of cloud computing.
In the fourth quarter in last night’s game, Kevin Garnett, Rajon Rando and Paul Pierce were on the bench rooting for their team. In a sport that typically glorifies the individual star, they demonstrated their selfless support. They knew that the Celtics were fielding a world class team and they were getting the needed rest to close out the game. This confidence in their teammates and their desire to win is what makes them truly a world class team. World class teams deliver world class results, in the cloud as well as on the court.
