Leading organization: Talent and teams

The main question is how do I get the right players on the court? 
Through the following ones :
How do I attract and retain the talent I need to be successful with,
our business strategy?
How to set talent development plan? 
How to apply performance management?

How to form and keep high-performing teams? As per Michael Jordan quote,
“Talent wins games, but teamwork […] wins championships”
What are the timeless truths for bringing in and developing the right talent
in any organization?
The first truth:
Focusing on the 5 percent that create 95 percent of the value.
Now, this is different than saying, “We want to attract and retain talent, and therefore we’re going to fix our talent-recruiting process.
And we’re going to fix our employee value proposition.”

Let’s see how the American football players are paid?

The Blind Side is based in how American football players are paid,

and beneath that there’s a reason for why they’re paid that way.

If you ask people who know enough about American football to answer this question, 
Who’s the highest paid player on the field?,”
Most people will say, “The quarterback.” And they will be right.
The quarterback is the one who touches the ball, makes most of the plays,
and is always involved in managing the team down the field to score points.
If you ask people who is the second highest-paid player on the team?
The second highest-paid player is what’s called the left tackle,
especially with a right-handed quarterback, or it could be the right tackle,
with a left-handed quarterback.
The reason for that is, the role of the left tackle is to block the person who’s
coming and, trying to tackle your quarterback,
who very easily could cause an injury,
because that person is coming to the quarterback’s blind side, as it is.
So this is a very important position that most people would say,
“ that we need to recruit a great left tackle,
and we’re going to pay them the second most on the team.”
What we found is when organizations talk about, “Who are our quarterbacks? 
Who are the people who play the roles on our team that create the most value?
And they often get it wrong because they forget to take into account those roles and,
positions that protect the value.
To bring some of these insights to life, is work with companies to get a handle on their critical roles and the talent in those critical roles
