Why could the Germans win the World Cup |
|
Is the above the reason why the Germans could win the World Cup? How did we get here ... Watching England crashing out of the World Cup while Fabio walks off with a £12,000,000 get out clause making the bankers look a little amateurish in taking the pee out of British public. The way the Germans walked straight through them was both impressive, saddening and thought provoking. I decided to ask a question in the LinkedIn house ... Question Details: -------------------- Germany are walking the world cup. Is it access to the new ball or passion of a young team that is rocking their world? So often people are held up as experts in the field, they charge the highest fees and promote themselves thus. And yet, when we find young people exploding with ideas and passion we look to pay them peanuts or offer an internship, when in fact what they have is worth much more. What are your thoughts on the football, how we exploit the youth & can you personally offer hope to fresh talent? Obviously a question for only the most expert in their field ... I'm looking for thoughtful answers ... any one liners just to be incorporated in this post will be deleted. Thank you The first response was just what the doctor ordered, this is still an open question and so below may not be the winner but it certainly a thoughtful answer ... Hi Jon, The German national team are certainly flying at the moment, and they certainly have the fearlessness of youth. Nice foot ball to watch, too. As we've seen with the England team (amongst other established teams), experience and expertise can make it easier to understand and invite fear and caution along the way. The World Cup has thrown these two attitudes into sharp relief, but perhaps they are not as extremely defined in normal life, where a bit of both are required to function effectively. It's all too easy for experience and expertise to to be instrumental in carving out personal territory, until it's the territory (and the preserving of it) that counts for more in the end. That's when 'gatekeeping' creeps in, which is awfully destructive in a business, particularly large ones, where it can be built in to the natural dynamic. Young people do get exploited via internships, and I do think the demise of the old-fashioned concept of apprenticeship is a shame, as it allows a natural transfer of expertise, and younger people can at least see a path, instead of having to toughen up too soon, which can create a defensive shell which actually slows down learning. There does need to be a framework of respect for both communities to work together. The young spray out energy in all directions, like a lightbulb, which gets things moving. The experienced tend to focus energy more efficiently like a spotlight. It's good to keep both types in the store for all kinds of eventualities. And the England team, which has been full of gatekeepers for far too long will have to grasp this nettle firmly :) cheers, Martin A bunch of other answers loaded and then a great one in from left field from Sudip Masoji I think the following song explains it all
