The big surprise at this yearโ€™s EURO 2024 Cup has been the remarkable number of โ€œown goalsโ€ scored so far - 9 and counting! For those unfamiliar, an โ€œown goalโ€ is when a player accidentally scores in their own teamโ€™s net. This development is a clear reminder that even the greatest players are human and make errors. What leadership lessons can we learn from these unfortunate deflections? 1. ๐—ข๐˜„๐—ป ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—ณ๐˜‚๐—บ๐—ฏ๐—น๐—ฒ๐˜€: Own goals remind us that mistakes happen to the best of us. 2. ๐—œ๐˜โ€™๐˜€ ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜ ๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—บ๐—ถ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ฒ, ๐—ถ๐˜โ€™๐˜€ ๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ฏ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ธ. The true test of a team is how they respond after an own goal. Great leaders cultivate a culture of resilience, encouraging their teams to bounce back stronger after setbacks. 3. ๐—” ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—บ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ผ๐—ด๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ, ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ผ๐—ด๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ. When a player scores an own goal, supportive teammates can make a huge difference. Great leaders build a strong support system where individuals feel backed, even in times of failure. 4. ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ, ๐—ถ๐˜โ€™๐˜€ ๐—ฎ ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ต๐—ผ๐—ป, ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜ ๐—ฎ ๐˜€๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜! In the grand scheme, one own goal rarely defines the outcome of a season.

Ensuring a collaborative environment within your teams fosters teamwork, which leads to sustained success. Teams can overcome setbacks when leaders provide a supportive environment, fosterering resilience and adaptability, which in turn enables teams to share the burden of challenges. They can learn from mistakes together, and collectively find solutions, ultimately leading to stronger, more cohesive groups who are capable of navigating more complex challenges in the future.
