a crisp fall day, and the roar of the crowd, the smell of barbecue tailgate in the parking lot. If you can not already tell, I am a fanatic of football. I love the game, my days of playing in high school, to watch my favorite teams, training and watching my two sons, I love everything about football.
so it's surprising to see a lot of similarities between the way a wonderful football team works, and large businesses. Football is the greatest collective game, a successful business is not successful without the great teamwork. Let's look at five ways you can get your business works like the most successful football teams.
any football team, either college or professional, and get anywhere on the pitch without first list of the best talent assembly. Isaac Cheifetz, in the "Secrets of the contract with the NFL," and points out that all the football team NFL, and management must know what is the "real necessities" of each position and. These are usually a variety of skills and attitudes. For example, it must be large center composure, awareness, and be calm under pressure. Similarly, in the business world, and they must have all-star sales rep great perseverance, communication skills, and professionalism.
Let's compare the way up the college and professional football teams select their roster with talent how your business set her talent. Football teams for professionals and private, and put prospective employees through a comprehensive analysis and measurement in everything. They do not just measure physical attributes, or experience, but spend hours and hours of interviews with candidates and former coaches, teammates and other people with relevant input on their past conduct and performance.
how much time you put in the selection of new employees for your business? I'm sure you conduct interviews, and examination of qualifications. But is it really going deep into what makes them any better or worse than the other candidates. How extensive are your interviews? What assessment tools used to confirm the results of the interview? How do you measure commensurate with the culture and environment of your own?
beforeseveral years, the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) study of the most hiring managers habits. The researchers found that in the vast majority, more than 65%, and signed employment decisions in the first minutes of the interview 4.3. The researchers also found that only 11% of these appointments has continued ever more than six months with the company. Not a great track record.
football is the greatest game of teamwork. There was no other game that I played in front of it depends on every single player in this area. Each has its exceptional relationship to be a success. Not even the most physically gifted running back or the center can do well with the offensive line, which takes a lot to play out, or just do not feel like working today.
I've had the good fortune to be able to train the youth soccer for many years, starting with children as young as eight years of age. It never fails that after the first game or two or three players in the fact that the transfer of the ball to the end zone for landing immediately feel they did it themselves suddenly. That does not fly to the well on my team and they soon realize that they did not get there alone. Downs happen because of all eleven men in the field (twelve if you play Canadian football).
how the similarities between our work? Are salespeople who close big sales really get there all by themselves? What about the great work being done by marketing, or representatives of outstanding customer service. And do not forget the production departments or engineers to create and produce high quality materials that generate big word from the mouth of the sales team.
best football teams are the ones that have a lot of depth in their key positions. When the star player gets hurt or traded, they have the highest quality of all talent ready to step up and take the role of being a hero.
A great example of this is the Houston Texans NFL. During the 2011 season, they had to deal with the season ending injury to their All Pro middle. It was that bad but they were lucky to have a second string center capable of extremely with a lot of talent and leadership of a major crime. Three-quarters of the way through the next game, and lost the second string center also injured in the season end. However, due to a massive, and Texas put to sight by rookie center team, which was perfect for running teams attack and they were able to make the management not only in the playoffs for the first time, but also earn privileges first playoff
business also needs to expect those who you will be able to speed up and fill key roles in your organization. We hope you will not lose anyone to injury, but what about retirement, health issues, turnover and other changes? You can do a better job of identifying the talents and skills of existing staff you have and how to use them in the future. Set up mentoring programs that will transfer the knowledge and experience of key players for those who have the raw materials needed to achieve success in the future.
strong leadership is a vital part of any successful football team. Every successful team has several "field generals" key that keeps the team moving in the right direction. In fact, football teams are always half a dozen or more of the captains, and which serve as leaders on the offensive and defensive sides of the ball. When I think of the leaders on the football field, I think Peyton Manning, Ray Lewis, Dan Marino, Mike Singletary and Warren Moon. Each of these players has not only during the games but was notorious for inspiring their colleagues to practice harder, study more and give all they have in each case. But never, never anyone barricade them than ever before. They are always led by example.
private managers and supervisors are your captains in your business. To what extent are the interaction in the success and long-term future of the business? In fact, there are no other jobs in your business that will affect a lot more retention and staff development of high-performance managers and supervisors. People leave people, not private companies, the internal and the leaders of your is the key to attracting and retaining the kind of employees you need. As we talked earlier about the time of recruitment, it will be destroyed even the best efforts of recruitment by poor leadership.
brings us to the last point we have. Football prominent football teams have strong coaches and teaching and learning constantly. Unexpected success of this year's super hero Paul the New York Giants should not come as much of a surprise as it seems. Prime Giants coach Tom Coughlin is one of the consummate teacher in the game. He is known as someone totally dedicated to his players, helping them to learn and develop their skills to the best ability.
How do you like our staff we are also a business owner or executive? We are consumed in a bid to help them improve their skills and their ability or just going through the motions? We will know the key players. We'll know if we really are committed to help them learn and develop their talents to their benefit, and the benefit of the business. Adult coaches understand that it must contain elements of both. Great leaders and managers of a win / win learning and development approach seeks.
like football, business is a team game. The goal is to do more together than we could ever alone, and take advantage of the talents of staff for the benefit of customers, owners and shareholders alike. Like football, when a team comes together in the boardroom all the more fun it becomes. Hard work, long hours, and the pain and suffering that has become both an enjoyable experience to go out on the field with a group bonded with you and enjoy being with. Would not it be great if every day at work and it was like that too?
