Not into sports analogies that much, but there are 2 Sports that I like to use a reference points for business. This will likely be my worst performing post on Linkedin ever, but I don’t care. Crap volleyball-While pro’s tend to use a dig first to control the ball, get it high up to buy time, second, the setter places the ball perfectly for the third person to smash it precisely where they want it. In crap beach volleyball, everyone looks terrified, they just whacks it over as soon as they get a chance. The ball is a liability, the solution isn’t to think, to strategize, to understand, it’s to hurriedly pass on. Kabaddi - Here players HOLD’s THEIR BREATH, raid the opponents half, tag as many players as possible, and return to their own half without being captured. When you watch it, players take their time, despite oxygen running low. It's mainly slow movements & then when the moment is right pounce like lightening. It’s a joy to watch. Businesses think “the pace of change is so fast, you have to act quickly, constantly, to be exerting energy at all times. But the reality is it’s more about knowing when to be fast, when to be slow and when to commit.
