“How do we all become the best we can be and reach our potential as a team? It's a fascinating question, because it is so complex, and there's no simple answer,” shares Sean Murray, CEO of RealTime Performance, Inc. and author of If Gold Is Our Destiny: How a Team of Mavericks Came Together for Olympic Glory. Sean’s professional background in leadership and organization development may not seem like the most obvious path toward writing a sports book, but when he was reading The Boys In The Boat about the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, Sean realized that there was a lot to learn about leadership and teamwork from sports. This led Sean to decide to write his book based on the story of the 1984 US Men’s Olympic team. The title If Gold Is Our Destiny speaks volumes about what it really means to dedicate your life to being part of a team. It requires sacrifice, putting the team first, and really understanding your role in how it will all come together. It means always listening to your coach and growing into better individuals while growing as a team. This is true of both sports and business because in the business world, we are constantly working in teams. Leaders are always looking for ways to propel their teams forward and to strengthen their team dynamics. By looking at this story of a team that began in struggle, and seeing how they managed to work through their issues to become one of the best sports teams in the world, you can learn a lot about leadership and teamwork. In both sports and business, we are often working together in teams to achieve a common goal. Individuals must put the team above themselves, fully respect the leader
