Whether you’re a sports fan or not, there’s no denying there’s something special about watching the Olympics. No doubt a big draw is the immediacy of knowing who the winner will be.

Instead of months, it only takes a matter of days to discover which athlete will end up rising up to the top to clinch the gold medal.

But there’s another reason why I enjoy watching the Olympics and that is the real-time examples and reminders of what it takes to succeed.

Of what drives us to push ourselves to the fullest of our abilities, knowing that for many there’s a slim chance of even landing on the podium.

So in celebration of the start of the Paris Summer Olympic Games, I wanted to share this edition of my Leadership Espresso Shot series where I share four leadership lessons inspired by the Olympics that will help you to ignite your team's performance.
