Leadership Tip
Foursome Fun Can Teach Team Tactics
I was on a terrific team
last week for a five-hour engagement.
Our mission was to have the lowest score
after playing 18 holes of golf.
The components that worked well were the following:
- Each person participated and contributed
shots throughout. One person did not carry
the entire team (except on one hole)!
- We celebrated our successes when we
made birdies and an eagle. We gave the
golfer's high five and I enthusiastically leapt
off the ground!
- We gave each other advice on putting
and what clubs to use for different shots.
This support allowed us to get better and
learn from each person's experience.
- We were accountable.
We had to use each person's drive and
play our own ball after a certain number of shots.
- We had fun!
These five ingredients are applicable to any team
in any circumstance.
Their essence will sustain your group for much longer
than a round of golf!
