Can and should the Olympics have the power to inspire us in our business lives and – if so – are we harnessing it to best effect?
Tell the truth. You must have taken a step away from your work for a few minutes at some point over the past week to cheer on Bradley Wiggins, Chris Hoy, Mo Farrah, Jessica Ennis or – perhaps just as importantly – any of the athletes who may have missed out on medals but achieved personal bests.
But can and should these Olympic feats inspire us in our business lives and – if so – are we harnessing it to best effect?
It’s clearly worked for one of my colleagues at Engage Research, who admitted having Wiggins in mind as she pushed herself to cycle to work faster, knocking a couple of minutes off of her usual commuting time.
This got me thinking about the lessons we can learn from Olympians to help us do our jobs better.
