Resolute Looks to Sports World for Team-Building Inspiration
Los Angeles, July 31, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Company leaders at Resolute draw inspiration from a wealth of sources, including the sports world. “We’re pretty spoiled here in the Los Angeles area when it comes to championship teams,” stated Jackson, the company’s director of operations. “With the Dodgers, Lakers, and Kings, we’ve enjoyed quite a bit of success over the years. Of course every team has its ups and downs, but I think there are plenty of valuable lessons to learn by following professional sports.”
"So many companies are just trying to survive these days,"
Jackson, Director of Operations
One of the closest parallels between a top athlete and an elite business leader is the amount of practice they must put in to achieve excellence. Great athletes are made, not born, and the same is true for the most effective professionals. “You have to develop mental toughness to be a great leader, whether it’s on the playing field or in the office,” added the director. “There are a lot of natural abilities that come into play in both pursuits, but you’ll never maximize those talents unless you get lots of experience honing your craft and overcoming obstacles.”
Just as championship teams celebrate their seasons with parades and lavish parties, Jackson believes workers must take time to honor their achievements. “So many companies are just trying to survive these days,” he said. “I think it’s important to reward yourself even for the small victories you notch. If you don’t, it’s easy to get lost in the shuffle of day-to-day stresses and worries about the future.”
Resolute’s Director Discusses the Firm’s Progressive Training and Team-Building Efforts
The leaders at Resolute prepare their people for success through an extensive training program. As Jackson explained, “The path to a rewarding career begins on the first day of training for our associates. We focus on communication skills, customer service, and a litany of other important abilities. Our program gives passionate people all the tools and skills they need to achieve their loftiest professional aspirations.”
Jackson and his colleagues also provide an array of team-building activities to enhance camaraderie and collaboration within the office. As he put it, “Our people get to take part in so many incredible bonding pursuits. Whether it’s volunteering for a local charity or going out to a team dinner, we’re always on the lookout for new and better ways to galvanize Resolute’s associates into a unified group. I think the incredible results they are achieving speaks to how successful our efforts have been.”
