IMPRESSIVE to see this Dragon Boat team going full speed into the turn without a scratch! 🚣♂️ Dragon Boat racing is a perfect analogy for competing in the business world. A high-performing team requires getting the RIGHT PEOPLE on board and in the RIGHT SEATS, getting the wrong people off the boat, working to get everyone ALIGNED and HARMONIZED, and giving it your all to fight for a common goal. 👊 Just don't be the guy at the back of the boat with your paddle down the whole time, creating unnecessary drag! 😂 ✍ What are your strategies in developing high-performing teams? ♻ Reshare if this resonates.

How much are your team in unity? Is everyone working towards the same goals and communicating clearly? “Unity is strength... when there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved” – Mattie Stepanek AND whilst I could hardly speak after this intense Dragonboat race... 🐉 I reflected on the similarities between rowing in unison in the boat and teamwork in business. Paddling together like in business, requires everyone to be perfectly in sync. My team had lots of fit people in it, with great strength and stamina, but we lacked that unity. We were aggressively paddling as hard as we could to win, BUT the other Dragonboat was a tight unit – working in sync and so they were able to glide past us. So, do you have that unity in your team? And I’d highly recommend Dragonboat racing if you get a chance, it’s great fun 😊 #Teamwork #Collaboration #Communication #Leadership

Geotab's Associate Vice President and Country Manager for GEOTAB Brasil, Eduardo Canicoba Cortés Ⓥ🌱, has been featured in Forbes alongside other executives actively involved in sports on how sports elevate leadership performance. “Throughout my life, I have always played some sport. I started running in 2005, and to date, I have run 13 half marathons and four full marathons, as well as several 5, 10 and 15 km races. It is a very important support because it makes me happy and helps me concentrate. Practicing sports is essential to maintaining good physical and mental health because it teaches things important in life, such as the value of effort, preparation, discipline, consistency, focus, teamwork and how to improve each day." 🏃Read the full article here: https://ow.ly/gfuO50Sl5Gt

🚵♂️ Conquering the Toughest Mountain Bike Track: Red Bull Hardline 2024 🚵♂️ Have you ever watched a downhill mountain bike race? It’s like witnessing a symphony of adrenaline, precision, and pure courage. ☝ Picture this: riders hurtling down super hard slopes, navigating rock gardens, drops, and jumps with the finesse of ballet dancers. Their bikes become extensions of their bodies, and every twist and turn is a high-stakes gamble🎢. A few days ago the Red Bull Hardline race took place in an amazing Welsh mountainside - The track, which is considered as one of the toughest downhill mountain bike races in the world. Now, let’s shift gears from the Welsh mountainside to the boardroom 💼. Business, like mountain biking, demands focus, resilience, and the ability to adapt to changing terrain. Here’s where I see the parallel inspiration in our professional lives: ▶ Fearless Commitment: Fear of failure can paralyze us, but the Hardline riders remind us that calculated risks are essential for growth. ▶ Precision Matters: A slight miscalculation on the track can lead to disaster. In business, attention to detail is equally critical. ▶ Adaptability: The Hardline course changes every year, challenging riders to adapt. Same with business and in life. Staying agile and open to new strategies ensures we stay ahead of the curve. ▶ Mindfulness: On that mountain, there’s no room for distractions. Riders are fully present, focused on the next obstacle. Being in the moment—enhances decision-making and reduces stress. ▶ Teamwork: Behind every rider is a team—mechanics, coaches, and fellow riders. In business, this is our secret weapon. Together with team, we conquer the toughest trails 😉 . So, next time we’re navigating our business challenges, lets channel our inner Hardline champion 😎 . Success isn’t about avoiding obstacles; it’s about conquering them with style. 🏆🔥 Enjoy watching the amazing winning ride. 2,5 min. of pure adrenaline. Ronan Dunne, the double champion, shows what it means to ride the edge and emerge victorious! 🎥👇 https://lnkd.in/dvHb-6Un  #BusinessMotivation #FocusAndPresence #PeakPerformance #RedBullHardline

#Alignment or Off-Roading? Getting everyone rowing in the same direction should be simple – until you realize you're in the boat alone, and everyone else is still on shore, debating the best way to paddle. Time to get everyone in the boat and avoid the team-building off-road adventure. #AlignmentAnarchy #RowRowRowYourBoat #scaleup #scalingup

Winning at business & winning at sport follows the same principles.
