Four pieces of content I've consumed this past week that will influence my future blog material and challenge me to think differently about how I manage Cressey Sports Performance. As always, I'm looking to bring you some business-specific information from outside of the world of fitness. Enjoy:
- AMC Offers a Personal Movie Theater Experience for $99 - There are plenty of gym-goers out there who have hit the pause button because they believe the space to be just as concerning from a Covid-perspective as your typical movie theater. If you're one of the gym owners out there feeling that
pinch, maybe you could take a page out of AMC's playbook and get creative?
- Why All Leaders Need an Assistant with Tricia Sciortino - If I had to identify one thing that has scaled my
effectiveness in leading the team at CSP, and my day-to-day productivity in general, it would be my improved ability to delegate. This EntreLeadership podcast episode touches on a number of reasons why all leaders need assistants, and assistance in running their business.
- 5 Traits of CEOs Who Successfully Take Their Companies Public - There are some important takeaways for current and aspiring gym owners in this piece, including the finding that you don't need to be the most charismatic person in the room to
build the most impactful operation. I'd encourage you to pay extra close attention to the first and fifth traits in this article.
- Managing a Team with Conflicting Political Views - Should we put a moratorium on all discussions relating to politics in the staff lounge? Should we encourage it? What are our rules of engagement? How do we handle inappropriate comments? If you find yourself asking
these questions, there's good material in this HBR article for you.
Make sure to let me know if you come across any material that you think I'd enjoy. More importantly, have a great weekend.
