Teamwork in Volleyball and Business: A Winning Strategy🏐💼

Last Friday, I attended a co-ed high school volleyball game. My friend's team won every set!

The qualities that made her team so fun to watch and successful are just as essential in business.

👥 Every player knew their position and what they were responsible for—just like in a well-structured business team.

🌟 They shared a vision of what success looked like. They had a common goal.

🚫 No grandstanding. Every point scored was a win for the team.

💪 Mistakes were quickly shaken off. They were resilient and stayed focused.

🔄 An external perspective and continuous improvement gave them the edge. The coach used an encouraging tone to suggest minor tweaks that improved performance.

Here’s howOwners, CEOs, COOs, Second-in-Commandscan apply these principles to improve operations and results:

⃗→ Clearly define roles and responsibilities.

⃗→ Make sure everyone knows what success looks like.

⃗→ Celebrate team achievements.

⃗→ Encourage resilience.

⃗→ Use mistakes as learning opportunities.

⃗→ Seek external feedback and apply it to improve performance.

Which of these resonates most with you?
