In 20th century, we witnessed the unification of East Germany and West Germany in 1990 followed by a unified German Sports’ contingent that participated in Barcelona Olympics, 1992.

Olympics Team Building Activity to Get 10X Business Results 

• Perseverance: Teams have individuals with discreet traits but learn to unite keeping aside their differences when they have a situation to handle whether it is a project deadline or a sports challenge. They tend to sleepwalk into their roles of players to perform well and come out as winners. The same spirit will be reiterated in their work related challenges in future.
• Time management: Many global projects fail because of poor time management. They always lag in at least one of the triple constraints; majorly time. When a task or a challenge is time bound, individuals are forced to stick to the schedules given to them. This is very ideal and the biggest reality of any sport. Lazy people also are forced to transform into thorough professionals when their tasks are time bound every day.
• Learning to rise above after failures: The spirit of modern Olympics itself talks about fair play, mutual understanding and accepting failures gracefully. We can also remember our Olympics Challenge that rejuvenates the spirits of employees as they experience the fever and atmosphere like Summer Olympics where the winners and runners are awarded in a ceremony.
• Understanding the sense of accountability: A task in a project or a sporting event is a responsibility in itself. Individuals experience the sense of accountability as they are enveloped by expectations to perform better than before.
• Accepting constructive criticism: Those who are open to feedback and constructive criticism shall emerge as winners, eventually, as they focus their energies on realizing their shortcomings and working diligently to build their strengths.
• Leadership: Sports are an obvious platform to witness the emergence of future leaders. Therefore, it is really meaningful to host sporting events to identify future leaders of an organization.
• Self-discipline: Last but not the least; a successful professional is a standing example of a disciplined life style. Self-discipline is one of the key traits of a successful sportsperson and a successful individual.
