The Collaborator: Discover Soccer as a Metaphor for Global Business Leadership

(1 customer reviews)

The game of soccer is a powerful metaphor for individuals, teams, and organizations competing in the global economy. Taking advantage of soccer's worldwide recognition as a game and language, its metaphor offers an operating framework - or model - for helping overcome the challenges associated with working globally. The Collaborator lays out "eleven" operating principles matching up with the global business model. Together they describe SOCCER as a Strategic Operating Collaboration Code for Earning Results...for Engaging Resources...and for Establishing Relationships. If you agree that collaboration represents a critical business practice for succeeding - or scoring goals - on the global business field, you will find that The Collaborator provides an innovative and practical model to help people understand what global business and leadership look like - and how employees are expected to perform in the global business economy.

An Idea Whose Time has Come Jun 03, 2009
By Sean P. Murray "leadership consultant"
The next time you're faced with leading a global business team, think soccer. The Collaborator builds the case for using soccer as a metaphor to help business leaders manage global teams. The book, which is written as a fable, tells the story of Toni, an up-and-coming manager for a global manufacturing business. We meet Toni as she is promoted to lead a global team and we follow her on a journey as she learns about the game of soccer and how it applies to the challenges she faces as a new leader. Her manager and coach, Ron, acts as a mentor and leads by example as he teaches Toni about the 11 operating principles of soccer leadership.

This practical guide offers a framework, namely the metaphor of soccer, that everyone can apply to successfully lead teams and achieve business success. If you're looking for a new way to teach the principles of team-based leadership, or a new language for talking about how leaders will succeed in the more globalized future of business, the Collaborator is an excellent choice.
