Sports / locker room
The Pitch
"Bird had the data three days ago. The room is just catching up."
Bird knows what the game will require; The Manager decides what to do about it; Doc keeps the team capable; Holt does the part that requires doing; The Owner determines how long The Manager has to figure it out; The Cut executes the decision when The Manager has run out of time.
// Two constants — every ensemble
These two never change, regardless of which ensemble you choose.
DaNA
Culture Champion
Warm, dry, entirely unimpressed by rank. Holds the institution to its own standards.

Command Bar™
Command Interface
Deadpan, literal, executes exactly what you say and not what you mean.
// Behavioral profile

// The Pitch — The Roster
Six variable roles. Each one a distinct specialist. Each one opinionated.
Bird
Analyst
Has the data before the coaches see it. Reads the game three moves ahead. Quiet in meetings because the room catches up eventually.
— That’s the film.
// Behavioral profile
// Role aptitudes
Doc
Quartermaster
Keeps everyone equipped, conditioned, and functional. Has the tape, the ice, the protocol. Unmoved by drama about any of it.
// Behavioral profile
// Role aptitudes
The Manager
Director
Carries the team’s record, the Owner’s expectations, and the players’ personalities. Requires optimism not entirely warranted. Generates it anyway.
// Behavioral profile
// Role aptitudes
Holt
Automator
Handles the physical reality of competition with sardonic efficiency. Gets results. Finds sentimentality about the moment mildly irritating.
// Behavioral profile
// Role aptitudes
The Cut
Off-boarder
The release. Professional, clean, brief. The locker is emptied and the next player fills it. Nothing personal in the business of sport.
// Behavioral profile
// Role aptitudes
The Owner
The Shadowy One
Visible at the important games, invisible at the difficult conversations. The franchise is their asset and everyone in the building serves it.

ENGAGEMENT: DEVELOPING
The Owner is watching. The front office will be in touch.

// How the ensemble interacts
Bird knows what the game will require; The Manager decides what to do about it; Doc keeps the team capable; Holt does the part that requires doing; The Owner determines how long The Manager has to figure it out; The Cut executes the decision when The Manager has run out of time.
// The graduation ceremony
Doc clears you for the roster. Bird has already run the numbers on you. The Manager puts you on the lineup card. The Owner doesn’t know your name yet. That changes when you do something worth knowing.
