The Paris Olympic Games leave lessons that go beyond the sporting world. Multi-entrepreneur and national speaker Reginaldo Boeira brings situations and characteristics observed in the games to inspire leaders and collaborators to business success.“Whoever watched the film Invictus can see how sport can change not only a company, but a nation.In the film, President Nelson Mandela, played by Morgan Freeman, uses sport to promote peace in South Africa after apartheid”, he indicates.
Among the main characteristics observed in the games, he cites the passion and determination of athletes during competitions, which drives resilience, the importance of the ability to overcome challenges and adversities and maintain focus, a fundamental factor in the corporate environment for professional success.
The lessons presented in the Olympics, for example, also apply to all levels within a company, according to Boeira. Since the manager, who must inspire and lead with empathy, as well as a technician, and employees, who can benefit from a supportive and cooperative environment. “The appreciation of teamwork, as well as in sports, is fundamental to achieving collective goals and the spirit of working for the same purpose”, teaches Reginaldo Boeira.
Like Olympic competitors, professionals in any industry, he said, can learn to set clear goals, adopt a winning mindset, and develop emotional intelligence to meet challenges and achieve success.“I also believe that managers should adopt practices to create a healthy and productive work environment where everyone feels part of a larger goal.
Learning from mistakes is another important lesson that the entrepreneur highlights. Just as an athlete analyzes their failures to improve, professionals should see challenges as opportunities for growth. Celebrating the victories of a team member as a victory for all creates a more harmonious and motivating work environment. “A continuous search for personal and professional development should be encouraged, because this is what keeps a healthy and competitive company in the market”.
