What We Can Learn From This Super Bowl
No, it wasn’t the safety on the first play the Patriots had the ball. No, it wasn’t a silly penalty that had a huge impact on the Giants. No, it wasn’t a fumble or any one play that cost the game or made the game. It never is.
Football is a team sport and hundreds of decisions are made by both teams. In the case of this Super Bowl game, many were made correctly some were made incorrectly. There were many good decisions and some bad decisions.
One team lost, one team won. Football, like so many things in life, is a team effort and not an individual sport. The team wins or loses.
It is never one error or mistake that cost the game as many errors and mistakes are made every play. It is the sum total effort of the team over the entire game that determines who wins and who looses. All the little decisions that are made on every play are the real determining factor.
Look a your own team, your small business team, uplift the teams success by making certain all the little decisions are made as correctly as possible and holding the entire team accountable for the win or the loss, not one individual.
