Following Michael Jordan's departure in 1993, the Chicago Bulls underwent a significant transformation. Coach Phil Jackson, anticipating Jordan's return, enlisted the help of George Mumford to enhance the team's physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Jackson believed that for Jordan to lead the team successfully, he needed to cultivate compassion towards his teammates. By focusing on the team's development, Jackson aimed to inspire excellence from Jordan and foster a cohesive unit. With Mumford's guidance, Jordan embraced a more understanding leadership style, leading to three more championship wins for the Bulls.
