From Industry Week
What is the relationship between sports and business leadership. Sportsman have mental and physical toughness to work out a plan, and I have believed that many sportsman/athletes eventually end up successful businessmen. Take Shaq O Neal who now own franchise in basketball team, Magic Johnson. I know of several cyclists, marathoners, tri athletes who are successful businessmen in their own right.
Stephenie Streeter, CEO of Libbey, a glass making company is one such person. She used to be a member of Stanford Women's Basketball Team, was a trustee of US Olympic Committee,
She says that an athletics is all about team, and winning. And atheletes always have very strong competitive spirit. Athletes too have leadership in what they do.
Talk about athletes negotiating hard for their professional fees (and even game fixing fees he he he)
