Follow on Google News | ![]() JTG Consulting examines: Are top athletes better managers?Are athletes better managers? Is their competitive edge an advantage? JTG Consulting investigates whether great athletes may have key attributes which could help them become top managers.
By: JTG Consulting Ltd One of the best examples for a great manager is the former professional football player Sir Alex Ferguson. He has become the most successful manager in British football history for winning over 30 trophies during his time in charge at Manchester United since he joined in 1986. United assistant manager Mike Phelan, who has worked with Sir Alex as a player and as a trainer, explains that his secret of success is his enthusiasm, his work ethic and his willingness to learn. Phelan states: "He has always lived knowing that to achieve anything you have to work at it and put the hours in. He has certainly done that. You see signs of that every day." (www.manutd.com) After more research JTG Consulting came to the conclusion that there is no actual proof that sportspeople may be better managers than others. However, professional athletes develop useful attributes during their sports career which can be extremely useful in business. JTG Consulting confirms: "In order to become a top professional in this industry, an individual needs to work hard and be ready to go the extra mile. Attributes like persistence and perseverance, a strong work ethic and commitment as well as having the ability to handle failure and the strong will to succeed have unquestioned value." # # # JTG Consulting Limited is one of the fastest growing sales and marketing firms within the London area. The company specialises in Event based promotional campaigns. When most companies are downsizing, JTG Consulting continues to grow at a rapid rate. As more organisations are relying on technology for business, the human aspect becomes more of a commodity, which is why JTG Consulting's key focus is on people and the development of their business and skills.
