Dave Bing-Classy Leadership

I

In the cut-throat world of business you rarely find people that are truly good people. And no one optimizes that statement more than Dave Bing or “BUDDA BING” as they called him in his playing days. Dave Bing’s past still describes his future which is classy confidence with excellencDave Bing’s psyche (i.e. Watermark and the Community Redevelopment Projects ) but with hind sight 20/20, Bing could’ve known that working in the off-season for banks a would lead to this. Being one of the most successful Business-man in America, a multi-millionaire, 61 million a year in sales, a Hall of Fame basketball player, awards and accolades for three men. But as entrepreneurs we see all of our success before it happens and more.

As entrepreneurs, sacrifices are never in vain even if the profit that we seek may not come when we want it. But it’s not about the money rather than the lesson during the struggle that makes a CHAMPION. In 1980, when Bing Steel was losing money and he started dipping into his daughter’s college funds to fund the business or even at the age of 5 when he had a unfortunate eye injury that threatened his sight. The loses were making him probably question whether or not this was a good idea along with the naysayers but champions never quit. And in every facet of Bing’s has proven that he is a champion. Champions make a difference because they have won before and know what it takes to win again. And it will take Champions to rebuild this city and with leadership like his I am sure that as a champion myself I hope to just like BUDDA.
