We’re one week past the Olympics – and one of the things we’re still talking about is the way our athletes recognize the hard work and dedication others put into being the best at their sport. They can’t help but celebrate each other’s wins. I wish more of our leaders chose the same path of winning. Making it about being the best versions of themselves for the people they serve – and recognizing greatness within others – letting their work get the attention – rather than negative comments about their opponents or tearing down those with different beliefs or values. What I took away from the Olympics was the example of athletes doing the best they could for their craft and the countries they represent. When Alysa Liu celebrated her gold medal win, she also celebrated her opponent’s win just as joyfully. When Chloe Kim’s 17-year-old South Korean mentee took the gold over her mentor, Chloe beamed with pride. When you have a culture of winning, true winning, it’s about believing in your own ability and sharing your gift with others, setting a new bar for true champions. We have the right to demand more from our leaders – the real culture of winning in America and California is truly rooted in service to others and recognizing the potential of us all. The more time spent on tearing others down – only shows how much time isn’t spent on achieving excellence for the people they serve.Ariel Roblin is the president and general manager of KCRA 3 and My58.
