Glenn Maxwell marked one of the most outrageous knocks in ODI history and is all over the internet with praises. He proved that an injured lion is the most dangerous.
So, find out three lessons business owners can take away from this unbelievable inning.
1. Determination:
This innings was made all the more impressive by Maxwell's courage and spirit. Despite losing the seven wickets, he engineered a stunning run-chase. Batting without even moving his feet, Maxwell kept clobbering sixes.
Determination is the unwavering dedication and commitment to achieve your goals, regardless of the challenges you might experience in your professional journey.
2. Resilience:
Resilience is the fuel that drives us to develop a positive approach in life, making it possible for us to stay motivated in times of adversity and cruise difficult times at the workplace.
The Australian cricket team showed us exactly the same today. They were 91-7 and showed a sheer Resilient effort with true fightback, with a positive approach, not even giving one chance after initial drops.
3. Flamboyance:
Maxwell showed how flamboyance can demoralize the opposition and get an upper hand for us in pressure situations. Maxwell played with authority, smashing hard every time to make a mark on the opponent's mind, smashing 201 with 10 Sixes and 21 Fours was exuberant.
As a business owner, you will face such situations many times when all odds are against you and you are near death situation. The key is to back your important players, support them, act as a shield, and give them confidence that you are on the other side sticking on the crease and let them play their natural game, just like Pat Cummins did.
Take a bow, Glenn Maxwell and Pat Cummins. That was quite incredible

1 年Saurabh, such a delightful and insightful post this. The Glen Maxwell innings was the best ODI batting performance I have ever seen. The Aussie comeback was immense. There has never been a comeback of this magnitude. It's bordering on unbelievable. To take such a performance like this and apply lessons learnt in to your business world, I'd be telling myself if Plan A fails, look to Plan B, and if Plan B does not deliver, venture towards Plan C, and a dig a little deeper ... Such resilience will hold you in good stead now and beyond.
