One of our many sources of inspiration and practice is sport.
And we love sport for more reasons than you might imagine.
To see a professional rugby team in flow on the pitch is a thing of beauty.
A stutterless dance of players holding indisputable trust in one another about the next step, the next pass, the next kick. Moving silently through an unpredictable and fierce opposition - equally matched in every way.
With relay runners we see the smooth, millimetre perfect handover of the baton. In netball the ability to see a number of chess-like moves ahead, fast, and pass-perfect, under and over the opposition. Racing, Tennis, Cycling, Hockey, even the newly popular Pickleball all require a level of trust in the players and the support team - trust that the vision is shared and trust that they have the ability to reach it.
When any team is in the flow it's an inclusive and unifying experience. It’s a joy to watch, and to be a part of. Hidden in the background is a performance system that enables everyone to deliver their best, learn and grow.
We want to see more great teams in business in their flow too.
