From the Playing Field to the Boardroom – Leadership Under Real Pressure
“From the Playing Field to the Boardroom – Leadership Under Real Pressure” demonstrates how leadership actually works today amid uncertainty, rapid change, and immediate accountability for results. Drawing on real-life examples of success and failure from elite sports, this presentation highlights the principles that come into play under competitive pressure—and why attitude, teamwork, clear feedback, and the ability to learn are more crucial than structures or titles. Finally, the concrete takeaway is drawn: what companies can learn from sports to remain sustainably effective at the management level under real-world conditions.
