Kobe Bryant won 5 NBA championships. He won three in a row with Hall of Famer Shaquille O'Neal, then he won two more with Hall of Famer Pau Gasol.
In an interview, Kobe was asked, "What personal growth did you go through from the 3-peat with Shaq until you won your first title with Pau and the new crew."
Kobe said:
"Understand how to connect the team more. I didn't have to with Shaq because Shaq was the guy that connected everybody. I had to figure out how to do that in my own way, with my sarcasm and dry humor, and be authentic with guys while still being able to build that relationship while understanding, 'This is what it's about.'
Leaders bring people together. They connect people.
