## Resource

In 2013, the Boston Celtics stunned the NBA by hiring 36-year-old Brad Stevens—a college coach with zero pro experience—to lead their franchise. Skeptics abounded, but GM Danny Ainge and legend Larry Bird believed in his calm demeanor and leadership. Stevens delivered, turning the Celtics into a playoff contender over eight seasons and later thriving in the front office, proving that bold, unconventional hires can yield extraordinary results.
