What is coming out of the 2014 World Cup Games for me is the issue of the "need to work as a solid team". I am hearing so much of the German Team having had a coherent team and playing as a team. The Netherlands I am told are also playing as a team - but Brazil seems to be playing a bit disjoined. And although there could be reasons as to why Germany for instance plays as a team - e.g. because most players have been playing together in other leagues unlike the Brazilian team, what is key is that team work is critical to success.
This rang a bell to me because as a corporate leader - I am on a daily basis hearing this and that business not able to achieve its set corporate objectives - meaning that particular business was not successful. Can one then attribute this to amongst other lack of team work or a team that is playing its governance game in a disjointed manner?
When that happens, the trend at least in Namibia is that such a business must go for a "Turn Around Strategy" to reorganize its businesses with the aim to improve its performance. I then also thought about the Brazilian players - who have been great names among the world soccer match brands -- who are now struggling to maintain their usual ranking during World Cups - and I thought - do they then also need some type of Turn Around Strategy then, or what does one call it when it is on a Soccer Pitch and not in a Corporate Boardroom?
I am sure the Brazilian Team will take stock of what might just have gone wrong because almost everyone, Brazilian or not is left with a question mark at to what might have gone wrong - did the German team just really marked the Brazilian team with precision since the Germans are known for their precision in almost every sphere - business - and now sport?? If that was the case, did the Netherland team do the same then? If yes, Brazilian team could not be on the look out for that - that their players could be marked and blocked fronm any goal shootings?
Yeah, whatever might have happened, I am emphasizing the issue of team work - that is critical to every success, and this rings a loud bell to many of us that if we want to succeed, we need to play as a team, at work, home, on the soccer pitch and else where.
This post is published just shortly after the start of the second half between Brazil and Netherlands. At that time, Netherlands scored two goals and Brazil was yet to shoot a goal.
