November 21, 2024Real Deal Pods: Upgrading The Madrid Machine
When extreme success breeds complacency, even giants need updating. We dive deep into Real Madrid’s organizational structure and why it’s due for an overhaul. From medical modernization to youth development, from recruitment processes to power dynamics - everything’s on the table.
We explore why Real Madrid needs system-wide updates:
LA FABRICA AND YOUTH DEVELOPMENT:
La Fabrica needs to successfully produce role players for the first team at a much better rate, which would give the first team better injury insurance
Why did Raul Asencio not have any prominence at the club until his assist for the first team? Did nobody notice that he was good?
Building a true development pipeline requires investing in world-class youth coaches
The current pay grade for youth team leads surely isn’t attracting top talents
Creating a consistent playing philosophy from academy to first team would help, but is not required
MEDICAL AND PERFORMANCE:
Modern football demands a complete medical overhaul
Why paying top dollar for medical leadership is as crucial as signing stars: players and coaches won’t take a medical guy seriously because their own jobs are on the line. Increasing pay gives the medical leadership more legitimacy and authority.
The outdated approach to player health and recovery
HUMAN-CENTRIC APPROACH:
The unsustainability of having Valverde, Jude and others cover defensive duties for everyone
Why burning out your most versatile players isn’t a long-term solution
Creating balanced tactical systems that don’t overstress certain players
The need for collective defensive responsibility
LEADERSHIP EVOLUTION:
Florentino’s increasing perfectionism with age
How the pursuit of perfection can paradoxically block innovation by making you stick to your old systems
The challenge of introducing new paradigms to established leadership
Why self-preservation politics grows stronger in aging organizations, and is particularly prevalent at sports teams where everyone is worried about getting fired
INSTITUTIONAL INNOVATION:
Why sports teams lag behind Fortune 500s in innovation
The mismatch between available resources and institutional innovation is large in sports
Owners of sports teams typically permit worser standards of execution across the board at the sports team than they do at their own successful companies
Innovation happens out of necessity, and usually comes with copying others: rare for a team to adopt an approach purely out of a desire to be ahead unless they copy it from the next team
Successful innovation models: Kansas City Chiefs, Golden State Warriors
Managing superstar egos while implementing systematic changes
The need for a biology-centric leader to innovate going forward
