The Paris Summer Olympics was a once in a lifetime experience where I was in a constant cycle of awe, unity, and patriotism. In my newest Forbes article “Olympics: Family On Me, Family On Three. One, Two, Three.”, I correlate the often overlooked soft skills essential to reaching the Olympics to the everyday workplace. I break down the importance of individual strengths and their role in the dynamics of a team working towards a common goal.?
Reaching the Olympics is more than athleticism and performance, it requires the profound power of trust and vulnerability to win medals. Being vulnerable with your teammates, coach, and most importantly yourself involves a level of balance to achieve cohesion and ultimately success.
The article dissects DiSC (Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness), the top personality assessment for workplaces, and the capabilities of a team in an environment that welcomes honest dialogue, accepts mishaps and mistakes, and learns from them. Psychological safety is critical to the strategy to succeed and win. No one wins alone.
