Reading FC Relegated

May 12th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Desperately sad day yesterday saw my team Reading FC relegated from the Premiership on goal difference on the last day of the season. It was a long drive back from Derby.

What can we learn that applies to the world of work.

You need a balance of talent and teamwork. If you do not have enough individual talent leavened in your team all the motivation and effort in the world is not enough.

The loyalty of fans in football is very different from that of normal consumers. We will be back next year, just travelling to Barnsley rather than Old Trafford.

    tough luck - and in spite of the flurry of goals yesterday, there simply weren’t enough scored in the second half of the season. The unofficial Baggies website is Boing! Boing! - let’s hope you bounce back quickly too.

    I suspect most of that will be a foreign language to many readers but it makes sense to me :-)

    thanks
