I’ve found there are three distinct strategies that champion teams in athletics consistently implement well that leads to the winning of their championships.
The three strategies are:
(to order a Free (limited time) version of the full White Paper & companion audio CD click here):
1) A Compelling Vision & Strategy - this is something all team members are excited to buy-into and are committed to working towards.
2) Leadership Developed throughout the Organization - this is necessary because the coaches and team general manager can not make decisions on the field of play and need captains. Likewise businesses need to develop leaders they can trust to make effective decisions in the best interest of the company.
3) Personnel Management - In athletics teams consistently hold their athletes accountable for the results they achieve and are usually specific with regard to the expectations. Businesses need to do the same.
How does your organization stack up against those three power strategies to create a Champion Culture?
There are also specific characteristics and traits that Champion Organizations look for when hiring team members. But, those are for another post!
Champion Organization exercise:
