Sir Clive Woodward knows this very well. Having coached the England Rugby team to success against Australia in the Rugby World Cup in 2003, to winning 29 gold medals as Team GB's Director of Sport at their most successful Olympic Games in London 2012, he has dedicated his career to developing a winning formula backed by behaviours.
Clive’s theory works as well in business as it does in the sporting field, and Michael discusses how we’ve taken it on at Atos. It relies on individual buy-in, team accountability, psychological safety and a behavioural-based mindset shift – from small, repeated habits to big wins. Hear how we’ve taken our playbook and Clive’s theory out on the road to try out with our clients.
If you work or enjoy sport or are simply interested in people, performance and podcasts – you’ll want to listen to this.
