Can improving your golf game improve your bottom
line ? According to many corporate executives the answer
is Yes. A person's performance on the golf course can have
quite an influence on perceived credibility according to such
notables as Donald Trump and former Sun Micro systems CEO
Scott McNealy.
A degree of mastery over what seems a very complex and
difficult game gives the impression that those talents carry
over into the business arena. So it seems that the benefits of
becoming a better golfer extend beyond the realm of personal
satisfaction into the realm of professional enhancement.
There is no doubt about it, business today is built upon solid
relationships. Whether you're talking about clients,
suppliers, or employees your ability to manage the
relationships will determine your level of success. Golf can
be a valuable tool in building and maintaining rapport.
"You can tell more about how a person will react in a business
situation from one round of golf than in a hundred hours of
meetings."
This is a quote from the book "What they don't teach you at
Harvard Business School," by Mark McCormack. The Founder and
former Chairman of International Management Group.
Anyone who has spent time on the golf course with an associate
would agree with the comment. Insights into personality
characteristics otherwise hidden by the business environment
reveal themselves.
