When I looked at the most valuable teams in the NFL last year, and eyeballed team records, it was clear the relationship between value and performance was a complex, perhaps counterintuitive one. There are a lot of factors that determine both, but I would say that top leadership, management skills, and business savvy are primary. How well does the front office secure viable, diverse and sustainable revenue streams: from ticket and merchandise sales, to media deals and ad sponsorships? How well do they invest in the team, create a winning culture, and hold everyone accountable? The players are the frontline soldiers and coaches the on-field (on-ice) generals, so win or lose is squarely on their shoulders. So what talent do they bring and what commitment to winning do they abide by? So while that relationship I refer to is complex, which I plan to investigate, I daresay that some relationship between value and performance does in fact exist.
