Five lessons Olympic athletes can teach business leaders
4 July 2011
Lane4's Greg Searle talks to the Wall Street Journal Europe about five lessons from sport that have helped him create business success.
British rowing athlete Greg Searle first won gold at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics with his brother Jonny. In the 1996 Atlanta Olympics he finished third in the coxless four event. After a fourth-place finish in Sydney in 2000 he retired from top-level rowing to concentrate on his career as a practice director of Lane4.
Now at the age of 39 he is back in exhaustive training to qualify for London 2012 and the chance to once again compete for Olympic gold.
He describes how the strategies used by elite athletes are very much the same employed by business leaders to compete at the very top.
