Yes...it's that time of year again!

Summer is here and the tennis is in full swing. The world's top players are assembled, each is gearing up to put on the performance of their lives and every one of them is only too aware of one thing...

To win, they will need to be at the peak of their game - every shot must count!

And so, in the spirit of all such major tournaments, here's a challenge to test your skills. Start playing today to bring your Leadership 'A' game to the fore and you could potentially;

Win Yourself 3 FREE Coaching Sessions! 

Consider the leadership activities that you demonstrate on a daily basis for one complete week:

Award yourself the score(s) of: 15, 30, 40, 'Advantage' or 'Game!' for every shot (see below) that you play and which scores 'for' you such as;

• Conducting an effective one-to-one Coaching session
• Delivering an effective on-the-job training session
• Facilitating a Team Briefing
• Inviting and listening to feedback from peers/colleagues
• Making time available to support a struggling team member or colleague
• Acting as a Mentor
• Giving on-the-job Praise/Recognition
• Hitting the deadline on a pressing task
• ?

(Feel free to add additional 'scoring shots' of your own)

Similarly, award against yourself the score(s) of: 15, 30, 40, 'Advantage' or 'Game!' for every 'return' shot that you played such as;

• Being 'too busy' to support a colleague when required
• Cancelling or putting off scheduled activities
• Getting sidetracked
• 'Walking By' the opportunity to challenge under-performance
• Putting off until tomorrow what should really be done today
• Sacrificing the 'important' for the 'urgent'
• Missing the opportunity to recognise solid, consistent achievement
• 'Walking By' the chance to say "Thank You" or "Well Done"
• ?

(Again, feel free to add your own additional 'return shot' scores)

KEEPING SCORE

For Example:

2 Coaching conversations = 30 - 0 (Less one later 'walk-by' scoring '15') results in a running score of 30 - 15 in this 'game'

How many 'games' can you win in a day? A Week?
