INTRODUCING ACTIONCOACH

HOW’S YOUR BUSINESS DOING?

We (generally) play sport to win cups, flags, or premierships.  People go into business to do the same – they’ve some kind of motivation or goal in mind at the beginning, but do you know what success looks and feels like?  In business, like sport, there’s some fundamental strategies required to enable the team to climb the ladder to success.   

So often sporting analogies are used in the business world – it seems apt: in a sporting team everyone must know their role, commit to maintaining and building their skills, always be there to play their role in the game, recognise the strengths of others and provide opportunities for them to be optimised, operate selflessly, communicate continually, reflect on performance and opportunities for improvements, and always remain focused on the goal - in this instance the ‘premiership’.

While the analogy works we are rarely treated to leadership and teamwork such as that demonstrated by high performing sporting teams. There is no doubt that the busy changing world we operate in creates challenges for teams to remain aligned or high performing, but surely they should never lose sight of the goal?  If we believe in what we do, why we do it and our role in it, then regardless of the rapidly changing environment we are faced with, alignment, high performance and ultimately achieving the goal is more likely.

What’s your version of a premiership (why are you doing this)?                       

What will that feel/ look like?  What will that mean for you/ your family?     

How long is the ‘season’?  How soon do you hope to hold up the cup?

Think of yourself as the Captain of your business or company.  On-field performance always needs off-field support.  Who is supporting you on your premiership quest?
