FASTCOLLAB HOW RUNNING IN MARATHONS HELPS BUILDING LEADERSHIP
•
Our life is mainly driven by the life goals. Life goals are measured by our success and the path which determine our satisfaction. Most of us will be having both personal and professional goals. A good leader is like a marathon runner.
•
Set small goals: In marathon, runners set small distance marks to achieve first, this gradually takes them to reach the big target of reaching the finishing line. Similarly, business owners should not be in a hurry to take big leaps on first day itself.
•
Let go, sometimes: We cannot control everything. Things like injuries and natural calamities cannot be controlled by athletes. We have to take what comes in our way, adapt the situation and give our best. Most of the time, entrepreneurs are pushing themselves or their team to convert big budget deals, knowing they do not carry the potential (at present) to serve that client.
• Work with people who energize you: Avoid being with people who pull you down, as negative energy spreads fast. Marathon runners run alone but still they draw inspiration and energy from fellow runners. Sometimes companies make mistakes, most of the moves don’t work in our way. • Avoid burnout: Professional athletics never dismiss the threat of a burnout. Frequent injury or burnout leads to frustration. Be aware that burnout is expected if you ignore the signs of stress. Try getting good sleep and nutritious food. Even if your job requires you to work for odd times, try to sleep and awake at the same time daily. • Don’t forget to have fun: If the marathon runner is not enjoying his run then there is no point of running. Have fun in making your world a better place. Connect with fellow participants, learn about their lives and share a bit about yours as well.
