Episode 38 – What Boxing Taught Me About Agile

from Badass Agile

What can we learn from the sweet science? I learned more from boxing than anywhere else Team sports are great, and obviously applicable, but when it comes to leadership being the best, nothing calls on your character, strength and will like a good old 1-1 Defence, of self-protection, does not win a fight.  There are no points for safety. You have to go slow to get fast.   Tension and fear ruins absolutely everything Find a good cornerman Look for opportunities.  Finding and fixing your gaps, and finding and exploiting HIS gaps are the key to success. Be patient, graceful, and stay in the fight.  That way, even when you lose you win.
