Roberto Forzoni's 2023 talks & topics
The Laws of Effective teamwork
I summarise the key elements of effective high-performing teams. The Laws are based on over 25 years of applied practice, coaching and consulting with some of the highest performers in the world of sport and business. I have developed a set of Laws, which, when followed, will maximise your opportunity of success, whether in a team or individual pursuits of excellence.
The Law of Vision
What is your dream? You must start with a vision of success and keep this firmly in your mind. Your vision will act to direct your thoughts and behaviour to achieving what you set out to do. Effective teams set challenging goals that aim higher and higher, and review their goals regularly. They make goals purposeful and break them into systematic strategies which are time related, realistic, flexible, measurable and motivational. Remember, goals are dreams with deadlines and for your wildest dreams to come true you must have wild dreams.
The Law of Choice
It’s nice to know that we have a choice in how and where we will finish. In order to maximise the opportunity of achieving your goals, you need to be conscious of the everyday choices you make. You can choose to be a high-performing team or individual, or you can choose not to be, there is no middle ground. Every moment of every day, during every training session and in every competition, you are confronted with a set of choices. Normally, you know the best choice that you should make, and for highly effective teams this is normally the more difficult of two choices. What path do you usually choose to take? Remember: Winning, like losing, is a choice.
The Law of strategy
Effective high performing teams and organisations set out plans they know will maximise the opportunities for success. Having a winning mindset is not about positive thinking, it’s about developing a strategy for success and sticking to it. Develop long and short-term strategies to coincide with long and short-term goals. Regularly review where you are and adjust your strategies as necessary. Remember: ‘Ink it, don’t think it’ – Write down your goals and strategy.
The Law of Acceptance
Effective teams and individuals within these teams have a high level of acceptance. For example, they are willing to accept that mistakes happen, or that their opponent may simply be stronger than them. They accept decisions may not go their way and that adversity is part of sport and life. They can focus on the task at hand, for the whole time required, accepting the ups and downs, without being distracted. They can play without being self-judgemental and instead adopt an attitude of’I will keep trying to improve regardless of the scoreboard’attitude. Remember: Whatever happens, accept responsibility, have a no blame, no excuse attitude.
The Law of Significance
Just about everything you do depends on teamwork, so the first thing to acknowledge is the critical and important way teamwork influences us, and not just in team sports. We live our lives as parts of teams, from family to school, social, sport and work. Whatever field you are involved in, teamwork will play an important role in the level of success you attain. Nothing of great significance was ever achieved by an individual acting alone.
Look below the surface and you will find that seemingly solo acts are really team efforts. The truth is that teamwork is at the heart of great achievement. You cannot do anything of real value alone. That is the Law of Significance. Teams involve more people, thus giving more resources, ideas and energy than would an individual. Teams maximise a group’s potential and minimise their weaknesses. Strengths and weaknesses are more exposed in individuals. Teams share credit for victories and the blame for loses. Teams can simply do more than an individual.
