Do you have trusted partners to help you weather the storm?
The current economic climate calls for partners that have skin in the game. CEO of Hatched Melbourne, Stephen Fisher explains how to check if your team has your back.
In the most memorable scene from the 1999 film Any Given Sunday, Al Pacino, playing a washed-up and over-the-hill American football coach gives one of the most often quoted and inspirational speeches in movie history, culminating in a rallying cry to his beat-up, exhausted and all but defeated players…
“…. life’s this game of inches. So is football. Because in either game, life or football, the margin for error is so small. I mean one-half a step too late, or too early, and you don’t quite make it. One-half second too slow, too fast, you don’t quite catch it… the inches we need are everywhere around us… You got to look at the guy next to you. Look into his eyes. Now I think you’re gonna see a guy who will go that inch with you… That’s a team gentleman, and either we heal now as a team, or we will die as individuals.”
It is a simple message that our industry could do well to heed as we head into potentially choppy waters. Success is most easily delivered through teamwork. And the team you have around you, and the tissue that connects them, is going to be more important than ever in 2023.
