In this episode, Dr. Brian Lomax joins host David Smith to discuss ”The Score Takes Care of Itself” by Bill Walsh.
Here are the top three takeaways:
1. Focus on the Process, Not the Score
Walsh believed that if you build a ”Standard of Performance” — detailed, disciplined attention to every small action and behavior — then success (the score) would naturally follow. Winning is the byproduct of doing things the right way, not the immediate goal.
2. Leadership is About Teaching and Setting Standards
Great leaders aren't just motivators — they're teachers. Walsh emphasized the importance of clear expectations, constant communication, and the development of a system where everyone knows what ”excellence” looks like, down to the smallest detail.
3. Prepare for the Unexpected and Stay Resilient
Walsh talks a lot about ”contingency planning” — preparing deeply for adversity and uncertainty. True leadership shows in crisis moments, and being mentally and operationally prepared is a huge part of sustaining success under pressure
