Kevin Durant: Leading by Example

Kevin Durant is a top 5 player in the NBA, a 3 time scoring champion, a 4 time NBA all star and the scary part is that he is nowhere near his prime because he is only 24! Kevin Durant is also one of the players in the NBA who will lead by example. He will come to practice early and leave practice late in order to perfect his game. By being the best player on his team, the other players will naturally follow him and train as hard as he does. This extra effort will cause a better chemistry among teammates which will help them win more games.  The other end of the spectrum is former NBA player, Allen Iverson. Iverson was a great player, perhaps one of the best in league history however, he wasn't a great role model to his teammates because of his lack of discipline when it came to practicing.

Leading by example in the NBA can relate to the business world because there will always be instances in group work where one person has to take charge of a project in order for others to follow suit.
