Football season has officially started, which means foam fingers, conversation and camaraderie. But how does it relate to the office? There are two life lessons that apply to both on and off the field.
Whether you’re working in an office or playing a sport, some of the same rules apply. A successful company or team will display effective teamwork and perseverance. They are two key elements in success in the game or in the office.
Teamwork
Any effective partnership will be built on good teamwork. This means practicing self-discipline and having responsibility to come through and play your role. It also means being supportive and developing camaraderie, as well as valuing your team.
Perseverance
In the game or in the office, you’re bound to get knocked down a time or two. However, what makes a good player is someone willing to recover, and get back up. They rise to the challenge, and work hard to keep going.
A company or team with effective teamwork and perseverance will have a greater chance at succeeding. It’s important to develop these essential skills in order to score big.
