This time last year, the Brisbane Lions faced an agonising 4-point defeat.
Their leadership group did what all our clients do after major wins or losses. They held a review.
Only once their thoughts, disappointments, and lessons were heard and captured did they focus on how to move forward.
The theme of last year’s review? “𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘰 𝘸𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘰 𝘵𝘰 𝘸𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘗𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘪𝘵 𝘵𝘰?"
It sounds simple. But without a culture of trust and empowerment firmly in place, its impact is easily lost.
Building that culture painstakingly over 8 years hasn’t been easy. Chris Fagan placed full trust in Ray McLean, Simon Fletcher, and the Leading Teams Australia model from day one, and the players embraced the process.
Today the Lions are Premiers! A lesson we've found applies to organisations across business, education, government, and sport, is this:
𝙇𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙘𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚. 𝘾𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙨 𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙩. 𝙏𝙖𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚. 𝙋𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙨.
And when the leaders, culture, talent, and performances are extraordinary — so are the results!
Congratulations to everyone at Brisbane Lions Football Club! 🏆
PS. Can you guess the theme of their next review once the celebrations are over?
