This week on Workquake Weekly, we’re heading to the gridiron—not for football tips, but for leadership gold.

Steve Cadigan takes inspiration from Bill Belichick’s new book The Art of Winning—specifically Chapter 5, a masterclass in talent evaluation—and breaks down how the Patriots’ legendary coach built a dynasty by spotting potential others overlooked.

Forget résumés and star power. Belichick built his teams around grit, adaptability, and fit. And as Steve argues, it’s exactly the mindset modern leaders need now more than ever.

Tune in to learn:

• Why hiring for potential beats hiring for pedigree

• How to build roles around people—not the other way around

• The overlooked power of development-first cultures

• What NFL stars like Brady, Edelman, and Vrabel can teach us about seeing talent differently

Whether you’re building a team, leading a company, or just trying to unlock more from your people—this one’s for you.

And hey… if you’ve ever passed on someone who “wasn’t quite ready,” this episode might make you think twice.
