Successful teams create a team aura. When we think of some of the best sports teams in history (Manchester United, Chicago Bulls, New York Yankees, the New Zealand All Blacks, the Australian test cricket team) we feel a sense of invincibility associated with them because of their history of success.
It is true that even these dynasties have periods of malaise and some fade badly, but in the main, even in poor periods, they have a presence founded on history. If the right ingredients (a leader with vision and players with talent) come together, pride and locker room power (LRP) can be restored very quickly (i.e. in a year or two) The memories of past glories come to life, which adds to the magic that is unfolding. An aura of invincibility emerges to create LRP, developed through vision, planning, dedication and an ironclad belief in the process.
