The media and other RR threads have slagged off a certain national football team (and quite deservedly, too) for their poor performances to date, so there will be no point in repeating them in this thread.
A double-dose of an undetectable miracle drug has to be ruled out, so the big Q now is:
“How to lift the morale of any underperforming team and thus galvanise them on to gain winning results – both at their next serial and well beyond that?â€
If the truth be told many of us will have been in some sort of a trough after a poor showing where the only way out was to improve: But can you remember HOW did we do it, or rather how we SHOULD have done it?
Some thoughts as starters for Ten:
A few hours of reflection and introspection then a full, round-table no-holds-barred, critique & analysis session to consider:
Changing underperforming team members and giving the second stringers a chance to shine.
Application of laterally thinking to perhaps discard/modify accepted routines & introduce new ones.
Stress on calmness but with a need to apply sheer bloody-mindedness, too, eg nil carborundum illegitimi.
Pep-talks from unexpected sources: From Whom? and, With what Key Message?
Over to you - as both Leaders and the Led (but Potential Leaders, nonetheless).
