ENGLAND’S FOOTBALL SUCCESS – WHAT HAS CHANGED? A lot has been said about England through the Euros, both good and bad, but certainly there has been fundamental change. High performing teams need a very clear - - Purpose - Identity - DNA - Vision with the magic ingredient being LEADERSHIP…… This is an article I wrote in 2021 which talks about the work being done in the background with England, dating back to 2013! Fundamental change takes time, as new cultures and mindsets are created and embedded through leadership and behaviours. Tell me what you think and seems my prediction of a 2022 World Cup win wasn't quite on the money, 2 years too early and maybe this Sunday will bring the Cup home.... #football #euros #sports #sportsinnovation #sportsbusiness #soccer #soccerball #soccernews #soccerlife #soccergame #football #footballbusiness #footballanalysis #footballmanagement #consultant #leadership #management #strategy #highperformance #venturecapital #fanengagement #sportsmanagement #premierleague #transformation #mls #highperformanceteams #sportsbiz

In the 2017 Super Series final, Viktor Axelsen displayed a rare act of sportsmanship. After the umpire mistakenly awarded him a point despite him touching the net—a clear fault—Axelsen deliberately chose not to return the next shot, gifting the point to Chou Tien Chen. This simple yet powerful gesture highlighted his integrity and sportsmanship. In both business and life, we are often taught to press any advantage, even if it comes at the expense of others. But moments like these remind us of something more valuable—honor, fairness, and respect. Winning at any cost may provide short-term gains, but integrity builds lasting trust and respect. Sportsmanship, like integrity in business, sets a standard that goes beyond competition. It’s about doing the right thing, even when no one is watching, and it’s these values that create sustainable success. Let’s strive for this kind of excellence in all aspects of life—where how we win matters just as much as the victory itself.

The #football (#soccer) #Euro2024 in #Germany, the #Paris2024 #Olympics, the #Wimbledon #Tennis tournament are some of the amazing #sport events that are energizing this summer. #Sports represent a microcosm of society, and offer exceptional, quasi-experimental settings to respond to some (but not all!) #management #researchquestions (see Fonti, Ross, & Aversa, 2023). 📕 @Journal of Management Studies has advanced important theoretical contributions with #sport #data that JMS Associate Editor Paolo Aversa highlights some selected insights from these papers. ⚽️ In 1976, a study by Malcolm G. Wilders pioneered one of the very first investigations in general management journals using sports data (soccer) to theorize about the management turnover. Wilders, M. G. 1976. The football club manager – a precarious occupation? Journal of Management Studies, 13: 152-163.

Glynn, M. A. 2008. Configuring the Field of Play: How Hosting the Olympic Games Impacts Civic Community. JMS, 45: 1117-1146. 🏎️ A study on #Formula1 by Mark Jenkins showed that while #incumbents are often unable to adapt to #technological shocks, some firms manage to sustain their #competitiveadvantage thanks to #dynamiccapabilities and ‘sustaining capabilities’ –resource configurations that extend the time for adaptation.
