After all, these are “games” and this is the business world, specifically the Safety Equipment distribution business. But there are some similarities; if we prepared and trained like the Olympic athletes would outcomes be any different?

If we always had the positive attitude to “win” would the outcome be different?

• When you walk in your distribution business, what kind of attitude is apparent from your employees? Are they upbeat, are they excited about their role in the company, do they look like team-players?

• Are you training your team to “win” or beat your competition? Training helps develop confidence and improves a person’s attitude.

• Does your company have a team DNA? What are your company’s core values? Do all your employees know what those values are?

• As “team” owners or managers, are you a cheerleader? It does improve employee attitudes and motivates the team to win!
