Many years ago, my wife Ann and I decided to dress like The Price is Right (“PIR” for you insiders) Showcase Showdown for Halloween. While a ton of fun (I clearly lost), it made me think about the PIR when it comes to teams.
Just like being on the PIR, leading teams can be an exhilarating adventure! Here are three takeaways to show you why:
-- Optimal Strategy: On "The Price Is Right, you need to find the perfect strategy to win big. Similarly, leading teams involves crafting the right approach to navigate challenges and reach your goals. No spinning the big wheel for decisions here!
-- Contestant Energy: Contestants on the show bring their A-game with enthusiasm. In leadership, keeping up your team's energy and motivation can be just as crucial. Remember, it's not about guessing the price of a car, but inspiring your team to drive towards success.
-- Outcome Matters: While the show has a jackpot, leadership's real prize is achieving business goals and personal growth. The PIR might have prizes behind doors, but in leadership, the right door leads to growth, collaboration, and success!
Remember, in both scenarios, the journey is just as fun as the destination!
How else would you compare executive leadership to the PIR? Spinning the wheel? Cliffhanger game? Plinko?
