  Running Time: 8:34 Date: 01/03/2012 We can learn a lot from sports coaches about getting the best from our people Getting the best out of the team, in both competence and commitment, can go a long way towards making a business successful. Business coach and author Rod Matthews, of Impact Human Performance Technologies, says sports training techniques can help - good coaches don't just replay the game at training, they work on lifting individual skills and overcoming weaknesses. Low commitment may arise from workplace issues, or pressures at home, or a combination of the two - it's important to understand how you can help employees deal with their problems and overcome them. As to leadership, a combination of "pacing" - working with the team and supporting them - and leading them in the directions you want them to go will produce the best results. Topics: Leadership |
