Meaning
This reads as a remark about experience shaped by the full range of team states, not just success. It points to the idea that rebuilding and winning both teach what has to happen in between, so leadership is partly knowing the long middle rather than only the headline moments. It lands when someone is guiding a group through a slow turnaround.
