Michael Phelps on Leadership
The recently concluded Olympic games in Beijing showcased Michael Phelps’ accomplishments in a perfect 8 for 8 gold medal run establishing an Olympic record. He swam 17 times in nine days and broke the world record in 4 of his 5 individual swims and all 3 of his relay teams set world marks.
So, what is Michael saying and demonstrating about leadership?
The concept of focus and excellence are evident. The idea that leadership brings out the best in others was displayed in both competitive events and his team events. He widely endorsed and praised his teammates as the “best in the world” and that he needed them. He praised their efforts in a number of interviews.
How much of this kind of leadership do you see in action in the real world? Olympic swimming gave the world a lens for leadership.
