"I don't think a huge amount of people believed we could go and do that - but internally there was a lot of belief. We work really hard at what we do and we've got great people - and when you get those two things right, you'll never be far away." Jamie George, England captain Great words from #JamieGeorge at the weekend after England's historic win over Ireland at the #sixnations2024 . Belief + a strong team + hard work = limitless potential. However, so many teams and organisations push that third lever first, believing that pushing people harder will get the outcome they want. Without investing in belief (purpose) and working on your other team foundations (trust and connection), the working hard bit has a limited impact and your people end up burned out rather than motivated and striving towards a collective goal. As a leader, understanding and constantly investing in the foundational elements of high performing teams is critical.

“Team chemistry – or culture as it is often referred to in business – is a dynamic that is sometimes hard to measure by individual stats, but if you get it right, the team wins! If you get it wrong, the team loses! Team chemistry or culture, will always trump an individual performance metric, because there is nothing more powerful than a team working and playing together!” -- Allied Universal® CEO Steve Jones in Forbes talking about what leaders can learn from the 2024 New York Knicks and how the fundamentals of sports present principles for people to win in business. https://ow.ly/aoz150Qzht4 #TeamChemistry #BusinessCulture #BusinessSuccess #TeamworkWins #LeadershipLessons #TeamBuilding #TeamPerformance #Forbes #ReadMore Forbes
