As a business coach, your goal is to help leaders build high-performing teams. Achieving this requires more than just strategy—it demands continuous commitment, much like coaching a sports team. By drawing on lessons from the world of sport, you can inspire your clients to elevate their team’s energy, productivity and business performance.
Understanding Work Energy in Business
Successful teams, like winning sports teams, manage their energy well. As a coach, help your clients understand the three key types of energy that drive performance:
Physical Energy – The stamina and effort required to complete tasks.
Mental Energy – Focus, decision-making, and problem-solving abilities.
Emotional Energy – Motivation, commitment, and resilience.
Encourage leaders to assess their team’s current energy levels and identify any areas of imbalance. Are some employees overworked? Are others disengaged? By recognising these issues, you can guide them in redistributing energy for maximum efficiency.
