Management Training Tips:
Business Management Ideas From the Sporting World

As they strive to build competitive and successful teams, coaches are always on the look out for better ways of doing things. The paradox is, of course, that business management in the corporate world look to the coaches of sporting teams for performance-improving ideas. Interest is heightened at the play-off and finals stage. Here are a few winning ideas for coaches and managers.

It's all in the fundamentals. The late, great coach of the Green Bay Packers, Vince Lombardi, emphasized the importance of doing the fundamentals well. Coaches that fail to instill in their teams the need to do the fundamentals will usually find themselves in charge of a losing team. Managers that fail to instill in their business management teams the need to do the fundamentals will usually find themselves in charge of a losing business management team.

Kiss your frogs. Facing-up to issues confronting us, despite their unpleasantness, is a prerequisite of business management success. The victors are usually those who are prepared to do what has to be done to achieve their desired outcomes. Frog-kissing is an essential activity when developing a winning culture.

Keep your cool. Almost 2000 years ago, Epictetus brought to our attention that it's not what happens to us but what we do about it that counts. In the final wash-up, the business management victors will be those that keep their cool and responded to whatever the challenges. As Charles Darwin told us, 'It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.'

Shift the piano. On his trip to Seoul to entertain US troops during the Korean War, Frank Sinatra made it quite clear to the organizers that his job was to sing: shifting the piano was not his job. Most sporting teams can't afford to follow in Sinatra's footsteps. Winning business management teams usually demonstrate their preparedness to do what was necessary to get the outcomes they want. And if that involves shifting the piano, then so be it.

Know thyself. This aphorism has been attributed to at least six ancient Greek gurus (none of whom played football), but it's message is just as relevant to today’s business management as it ever was. On the football fields, the victors know that one of the areas that they can count on most is knowing themselves-particularly how they behave when the pressure is on and whom they could rely on.

Remember Rule #6. Football or any sport is only a game. The results should not be taken too seriously. When the dust settles after a game, how much will your life change as a result of the final scores?

No one doubts that watching the game is relaxing, enjoyable, and exhilarating. We know already, however, what the business management ideas, messages, and lessons are likely to be. If only applying those was equally straightforward.
