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.

•

He knows he has a long distance to run, but it is important that he realize stamina and endurance that will carry him through, not the speed. Here are a few things which marathon can teach for building leadership.

Run, run, run; do, do, do • If you are in middle of the week and you are losing your pace and command, it is your daily routine that plays a major role. During the training of marathons, trainers insists on being disciplined, managing time and maintain a routine that works. Trainers also emphasized the value of strictly following the agreed plan. It is important for the start up leaders to reinforce the importance of time management and sticking to the actual plan when the time limits are extremely short and team members are not up to the mark.

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. It is always easy and motivating to achieve small targets.

Goals set and achieved in every quarter gives enough experience to the team to gradually increase revenue for the whole year.

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. Successful leaders know when they have to preserve and when they have to perform.
