Why Don’t we Treat our Work Like the Olympics?

With our Canadian athletes faring much better in the second half of the Olympics, who wouldn’t be inspired? From the extreme grit and determination exhibited by Simon Whitfield in the Triathlon, to the persistence shown by Ian Miller, who has been an Olympian since 1972, winning his first medal this year in Beijing, to the teamwork shown by the men’s eights rowing team, there are lessons to be learned.
Focus, perseverance, goal setting, measuring for improved results, and focus are all skills that can be put to work in quest of a medal, in pursuit of a promotion, or building the right dynamic for your work unit.

Go Team, Go!
