Leicester City - What Money Can't Buy

Leicester City Football Club are now crowned champions of the Premiership defying all expectations. Winning the title by beating off the high spending clubs says a great deal about the power of leadership and team work.

Leadership is influencing others to willingly follow and to achieve more than they would normally have done. Therefore good leadership skills are essential for working with any team of people in order to accomplish their goals and the goals of the team or organisation. Money can buy talent but cannot always guarantee results, whereas leadership seems to be the differential that unleashes potential. Why?

We can buy a person’s time, we can buy a person to be at a given place. We cannot buy a person’s enthusiasm or effort, we cannot buy trust or loyalty; the leader has to work to develop these.

Once leadership is established and accepted, then common understanding and unity builds within the group so team work starts to add still further value.

Leicester City’s achievement this season proves that skilled leadership and solid team work are still the key ingredients in any recipe for success.
