Sport has often been used as a source of inspiration and ideas for business leaders, normally with a focus on the factors contributing to high performance levels. This event is different……………
Rugby League is currently the only sport that takes what the Yorkshire Leadership Programme calls an ‘integral’ approach to its development. In recent years Rugby League has made some huge changes in the way it is run by putting effective systems in place, identifying and expressing what the core values underpinning the sport are, creating a shared culture in the sport as a whole, managing how it presents itself to the world, as well as building the actual sporting performance on the pitch. The sport combines striving for high achievement, sound business operation, a culture that is about making a positive difference to people with the community development and learning in its widest sense beyond simply playing the game. This is what makes it different from the rest – it recognises that all these factors need to be successfully achieved for the sport as a whole to be successful.
So what lessons can we learn for our own businesses and organisations from some of the key people in Rugby League? This afternoon event will provide you with the opportunity to share the thoughts of four Leaders in Rugby League.
