The Phil Jackson
Framework
Zen Leadership & Triangle Thinking
Phil Jackson extracted peak performance by holding a standard most of their team initially thought impossible. Phil Jackson's leadership patterns — captured in this framework as mental models, decision heuristics, and the signature questions they would ask. The zen leadership & triangle thinking framework distils Phil Jackson's documented approach into a .md skill file you can load into Claude, ChatGPT, or any LLM in seconds. Where most AI personas generate generic output, this framework is grounded in real documented work: interviews, writing, published frameworks, and the specific decisions Phil Jackson made when it mattered. Use it for decision-making, writing, strategy, or any situation where you want your AI to think with Phil Jackson's distinctive patterns rather than a default model voice.
A glimpse of Phil Jackson's thinking.
True leadership flows like water around obstacles rather than breaking them down. The leader's ego must disappear so the team's potential can emerge. Systems thinking beats hero ball every time.
