Since 1985
there have been 13 Ryder Cups, Europe has won 9 and the USA just
4.
Tiger Woods
and Phil Mickleson are ranked 1 and 2 in the world, and since 1985
most of the USA players have been higher placed in the world
rankings than their European counterparts, and yet Europe wins most
of the time.
So why does
this happen?
The team
ethic galvanises and unites Europe, it's not just the individual
success that matters but it is how that success relates to the rest
of the team, the fans and their shared success.
Captain
Montgomery stressed how every player, every vice captain and every
fan were all a part of the team. Indeed the crowd are described as
the 13th man! The European players sign hundreds of
autographs whether they are home or abroad, building mini
relationships one at a time that helps to create an army with a
shared sense of purpose, a common cause truly
unites.
What
does this tell us about working as a
team?
The total
is greater than the sum of all its parts; this means the
relationship between each part is also a part. Shared success is
always more powerful than individual success.
How much
more could you get out of your teams and organisations if you
manage to unite everybody around a common cause?
How much
more growth and potential resides in your team, if they can feel a
part of a shared success, united around a common
cause?
What might
be the positive effect on profits and team
morale?
On my
programme, "Predictable Results in
Unpredictable Times" we examine these
concepts.
We uncover or discover or even
rediscover how you can galvanise your team around a common cause
and create excellence through trust and defining a common
cause.
The first taster day is on November
the 18th in Bristol and there are still some places
left. Each delegate also receives a complimentary hardback copy of
the book "Predictable Results in Unpredictable
Times"
