Tack TMI Leadership Breakfast Event



 

Unlocking Leadership Secrets: A Morning with Rugby Legends

Tack TMI 25th January

Tack TMI recently orchestrated a transformative Leadership Breakfast at the remarkable Murrayfield stadium. This gathering was more than just a reflection on the game of rugby; it encapsulated the essence of leadership, strategy, and teamwork, drawing inspiration from the dynamics among the Six Nations.

In both rugby and the corporate world, teamwork emerges as a cornerstone of success. The seamless collaboration, mutual trust, and shared vision exhibited on the rugby pitch serve as a key reflection of the essence of effective teamwork within organisations. This theme resonated deeply throughout our discussions, highlighting the parallels between the strategies employed on the field and those vital for thriving in today’s competitive business landscape.

Business Leaders from across Scotland converged at Murrayfield, not merely to network and exchange ideas, but to delve deeper into the symbiotic relationship between sportsmanship and leadership. Amidst the backdrop of camaraderie and collaboration, fuelled by a hearty breakfast spread, meaningful connections were forged, and innovative ideas around their thoughts of leadership emerged.

The event welcomed esteemed speakers, Duncan Hodge and Sandra Colamartino, both luminaries in their respective fields. Duncan Hodge, a former Scotland player and international coach, brings a wealth of experience and insights garnered from years on the field and coaching side-lines. On the other hand, Sandra Colamartino, the first Scottish women’s rugby captain and a distinguished business leader, embodies the spirit of resilience and determination both in sports and corporate boardrooms.

In any team or organisation, culture forms the bedrock upon which success is built. However, amidst the complexities of modern work environments, this culture can often become convoluted and difficult to navigate. The most effective teams, however, understand the power of simplicity. Instead of drowning in a sea of values and expectations, they distil their cultural ethos into a few key principles

Culture is massively important but it’s sometimes almost over complicated.  The best teams I’ve ever worked in was keeping it simple and  trying to nail down just three things… i.e honesty; respect; being on time, so people knew exactly what was expected and was referred to at every meeting and on the training pitch to reinforce these values!

During the event, Duncan and Sandra created an engaging discussion that delved into the nuances of leadership, weaving anecdotes from their experiences in rugby and business. Key insights were shared, offering actionable strategies and best practices for cultivating leadership excellence in the modern era. From harnessing the power of diversity to fostering a culture of continuous learning and adaptability, our speakers provided invaluable guidance for leaders seeking to navigate the complexities of today’s business landscape with confidence and resilience.

The highlight of the morning was the collective effort in raising donations in support of the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation. Named after Doddie Weir, a legendary figure in Scottish rugby battling motor neuron disease, the foundation stands as a beacon of hope and solidarity within the rugby community. Tack TMI’s commitment to match donations per delegate amplified the impact of every contribution, raising a total of £450 for this noble cause.

At Tack TMI, we remain steadfast in our mission to nurture leadership excellence and foster meaningful connections within our community. This event served as a testament to the transformative power of leadership, uniting rugby and business in pursuit of shared goals and aspirations.
