ASICS’ Post

Last week we had a great couple of days at Leaders in Sport conference, where I had the privilege of being joined on stage by two of our wonderful clients Celine Del Genes from Decathlon and Sally Moore from Sage, who delivered some fascinating insight to a packed room. Our discussion lifted the veil on how brands view and assess potential partnerships. We dig a bit deeper into the topic in our latest InTel Report. ⬇ link to report below in comments #sponsorship #sportsbiz #partnership #valuation #leaders

Ever wondered if having the right leader for your team matters? Let me tell you a story about some boys in a boat. At first, this team is a mess. They are working against each other, they are slow, morale is low...things are not going well. Then a pivotal moment happens. They find the right coxswain, Bobby Moch. A coxswain is the person who steers the boat and coordinates the power and rhythm of the rowers. They are responsible for giving commands and making tactical decisions during the race, ensuring the team works together harmoniously to achieve maximum speed and efficiency. Sound like how you want your team to function? Bobby brings transformation to the team with his leadership, strategic thinking, and ability to bring out the best in each rower. With Moch's guidance, the team becomes cohesive, their timing improves, and they start winning races. They realize their true potential which leads them to victory in the 1936 Berlin Olympics. This is the perfect example of how having the right leader can bring about dramatic changes in performance and morale. The team had the talent the entire time, but they were not being lead properly!! The right leader can steer the team to victory. The wrong leader can sink the entire boat. Find the right leader and empower your team to row AS ONE! This clip gives me chills every time! #leadership #teammorale #teamsuccess

Watching Bundesliga Fußball (soccer) this morning with my wife (huge Dortmund fan) and the club sponsor, Evonik, has a running electronic banner along the field with the hash tag #ActLikeALeader. If ever there was a call to action that needed to be heeded, it is this! These days #trueleadership is waning. This needs to be fixed. We need a leadership reset where we weed out the followers and put people in place that can truly lead with empathy, innovate, inspire and build teams, and put their people first. #resetleadership #peoplefirst #leadwithempathy #actlikealeader

We deeply believe in the importance of sport as a nation-builder, contributing to economic development, and fostering social cohesion and inclusion. And over the past four weeks, we’ve been bringing to light the complex and dynamic system that high-performance sports operate in.   With athletes and teams getting ready to compete on the international stage as they prepare for the 2024 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris, we’ve been diving deep into the leadership, strategy, and cultural challenges and opportunities national team leaders are facing.   With a deep understanding of the system at play, it’s now time for us to turn our attention to the leaders who are leading their teams and organizations to #Paris2024.   Over the next few weeks, we will be in conversation with experts and advisors in the North American sports ecosystem, as well as CEOs and high-performance directors from Canadian national teams who will be heading to Paris in a few short months. We’ll be finding out what they are focusing on, what challenges they are facing, strategies and tactics they are leveraging in the final countdown, and what they will be thinking about after the Games wrap up.   Join us as we continue the conversation and discover what’s driving them towards Olympic and Paralympic success in Paris. #Leadership #HighPerformanceSport #Olympics #Culture #CultureInSport

Djokovic’s decision to team up with Andy Murray, his long-time rival, showcases the power of merging perspectives to aim for greatness. This story is a reminder for all of us.
