Fall camps have opened across the country, and the season is less than a month away.

On September 26, Delaware and Virginia meet for the first time, but will renew a connection that goes far beyond the game itself.

After publishing Part 1 of this series, I was asked one question more than any other: “What did Hall of Fame coaches Tubby Raymond and George Welsh have most in common?”

I hope you enjoy the read.

Interdependence exists to a greater degree throughout organizations. Interdependence occurs when two or more people have power over each other because, ironically, they depend on each other to accomplish their own personal objectives.

A big mistake is focusing on big, hairy, audacious change that results in painful resistance and cynicism.

Social Architects govern how people act, but not in a domineering manner. Principles of human performance that bind the organization together are subtly transmitted.
