Why Roger Federer wins

leadership Aug 04, 2017

Quite some time ago, the tennis player and exceptional sportsman Roger Federer won his eighth title in Wimbledon and is thus also the record holder in this category. It doesn’t matter how much you are interested in tennis:

If you want to achieve more in private life or business, it is always worth looking at such outstanding personalities. 

I don’t want to repeat here his various strengths, as you can read about them everywhere. But the longer I study Roger Federer and other successful people, the more I notice exactly one characteristic that most others do not have: 

The best of the best can always add one level on top. 

What do I mean by that? Let’s keep with the example of Federer: Whenever it gets a little tight, when the opponent puts him under pressure, he gets a little better, hits a little more precisely, increases his performance a bit. 

You can also observe this with other top athletes and winners: If they are under pressure, they can still improve a little bit, even if it seems almost impossible. 

My question to you is this: To what extent can you and your team improve even when it becomes difficult? Are all of you standing together? Or do you give up instead? Do you stretch yourselves or do you tend to call a meeting or a committee first to “win time”? Do you act or do you discuss? 

Most of the teams and organizations I see are more likely to be paralyzed when times get tough instead of topping up their performance.
