DirectAIM - Everything I Know About Business I Learned Playing Golf
|
By Alan Fine
Business, like golf, is a mental exercise that tests your character and causes you to feel both joy and pain. And the dilemmas you face in golf parallel the challenges you encounter in business every day.
For example, in golf, why do some people freeze when they have to play over water? What drives someone to make a mess of a relatively simple shot at a crucial stage in a match? Why can a person hit the ball well on a practice round but never play as well in competition as we know he or she can? As we venture into business, the questions may change, but the themes are the same. People freeze when they confront a challenge that daunts them; they mess up a relatively simple project at the crucial stage of development; they know their presentation by heart, but they stumble when it’s time to present to that big client. |
