I came across a great read last week on Quartz.com that examined Urban's development/leadership system for his players.  The BRG (blue-red-gold) incentive system incorporates the "rites of passage" :

Blue can be equated with the status of a young child and, as such, beginning movement out of this status parallels the “separation” component of the rite of passage.

In turn, red is equated with a middle stage, similar to the “betwixt and between” state of adolescence that is marked by a “transformative” stage of development.

Finally, gold status represents the adult stage of development and all of the privileges and responsibilities associated with this marker of full maturity.

This Quartz.com article is really well written and will provide some great insight into Urban's development and leadership system.

I decided to bring this up because of Jeremy Fowler's most recent hit-piece.
