You've worked hard for the last eleven years of your life and served as president of your workplace for seven of them. Your family is happy and has a bright future and your success rate has never been higher. But your workplace is under new ownership and it's time for a change. It is a natural progression to try and improve your situation. So you accept a more challenging, higher paying job in a new city and you move into your new home. But you refuse to enter your new workplace and settle into your new position without trying to put a personal stamp and make your presence known. You move into your new home and you know that it needs upgrading. Perhaps you will add a new stove, a new television and some new walls; after all, you want your new home to be as comfortable and interesting as possible so that guests will be impressed by how much work you have put into it.
This is the mindset that was employed by Bryan Colangelo after his work was done in Phoenix. New ownership had moved in and they wanted to keep him around, but he had made his mark and it was time to move on. Another employer came knocking, check book in hand with an offer that simply could not be refused. So Colangelo moved into his new home and a brand new environment with pieces that needed upgrading and other pieces that looked good enough to keep in place.

Re: Colangelo's new home
I read this earlier and the whole home analogies thing got me uninterested to what he had to say.

I dunno, he choose an awkward narrative (second person) for his lead. Other than that it was pretty good.

Re: Colangelo's new home
It was funny at first, but the appliance references got pretty stupid after a while...still, nice to see the Raps get some more positive articles.

Yeah, but it was on the front page of RealGM, which means lots of people will see it.
