Short to the point and always on spot.

In a business you can only do great things when you have a good team on board...

Examples of hardwork and perseverance. As a fan it can be disappointing when your team doesn't make it to the end, or even close to it. Imagine how the coach and players feel - but do they give up? No, they analyze the year and opportunities they had and come back even harder until they achieve their goal. You should invest the same in yourself and your team.

Success in sports isn't just about winning games or breaking records. It's about dedication, discipline, and the relentless pursuit of improvement. These principles are not confined to the field or court; they transcend into our careers and everyday lives. In sports, success often comes from setting clear goals, developing a strategic plan, and putting in the hard work to achieve them. The same applies to our careers. Whether it's aiming for a promotion, starting a business, or pursuing a passion project, having a vision and the determination to see it through is crucial. Just like in sports, setbacks and failures are inevitable in our careers. But it's how we respond to these challenges that ultimately determines our success. Athletes learn to bounce back from defeats, adapt their strategies, and keep pushing forward. Similarly, in our professional lives, resilience, perseverance, and the ability to learn from failures are key traits that lead to success. Teamwork is another fundamental aspect of both sports and careers. In sports, success often relies on effective communication, collaboration, and trust among teammates. Similarly, in the workplace, the ability to work well with others, contribute to a team, and leverage each other's strengths can lead to collective success. Moreover, the importance of continuous learning and self-improvement cannot be overstated. Athletes are constantly honing their skills, seeking feedback, and striving to be better than they were yesterday. Likewise, in our careers, embracing a growth mindset, staying curious, and investing in our personal and professional development are essential for long-term success. Ultimately, success in sports and in our careers is not just about reaching the finish line but about the journey itself—the lessons learned, the obstacles overcome, and the growth experienced along the way. By applying the principles of sportsmanship, determination, teamwork, and continuous improvement to our professional endeavors, we can unlock our full potential and achieve remarkable success in any field. Together, these two teams have captivated fans with their electrifying performances, inspiring resilience, and unwavering commitment to excellence. Their success serves as a source of pride for the entire UConn community and a reminder of the rich tradition of basketball excellence that defines the Huskies' legacy.

Empathy is not compromising on high quality standards, it's about creating a feedback loop that brings out the best in your team. As a manager, being empathetic towards your team can make the workflow smoother and more effective. By understanding their perspectives and challenges, you can create a work environment that fosters collaboration and growth. #empathy #management #leadership

Delivering constructive feedback with empathy is not counterintuitive but necessary to be an effective leader.

Leading with empathy first can help your team achieve amazing results -- virtually everybody wants to do a good job at work. If we start with empathy and start with positive feedback from the beginning, a working relationship can build into something that hums along like a well-oiled machine.

Completely agree. Inspiring words. The ability to lead and provide feedback with empathy is critical to the success of any team

My team's most impressive quality : Insane dedication and love for the project. Week-ends for them are just as fun fiddling with our tech than partying in Hawaii (or almost 😁) . I'd never ask them to work on weekends. I do ask them to find a groove they love in the project so they are fired up every day and bring their 100% to the table. When you think it through, there is nothing more demanding nor more freeing than that for a worker. I believe this is the right balance for someone to accomplish himself and grow both personally and professionally. I don't believe in the "work-life balance" idea though. At least not the type where you have to leave the job behind when you go home. You're the same person at work and at home, you should be happy and free in both places. This is what will make your family happy. When your kid is sick or your family comes to visit, or you're just not up to it on that day, you should not have to worry about the amount of PTO you have left. On the other hand, when there is a rush or an emergency at work, it's just a normal part of life. A business might be intangible, but still is an evolving organism that requires care and love. Just as any human, inside our outside the business.

How to identify the most valuable team member in your team. A good analysis. 😄 https://lnkd.in/edGmiSr7
