The SHRM 2015 Conference officially kicked off a few moments ago with Coach Mike Krzyzewski discussing leading others, inspiration and developing talent to create a winning team. In his keynote, he talks more about relationships, setting rules or what he calls “setting standards.” He talks about how ownership creates community, ownership and ultimately engagement.

15 Best Inspirational Tweets From @coachkwisdom

Coach K talks about how his teams create their own standards allowing players to establish together instead of edicts coming from coaches and leaders. The team members are able to self-manage and own their own success moving forward instead of relying on the manager or in basketball the coach to manage the team. I put together a list of the 15 most inspirational tweets from Coach K’s opening SHRM15 session.
