What HR can learn from Euro 2016: The personalities that make teams tick

The Euro 2016 trophy may be sitting resplendent in Portugal’s trophy cabinet, but the lessons to be learnt from the tournament that gripped a continent are still very much fresh.

A memorable tournament filled with upsets, late goals and drama on and off the field. It also brought to light one common theme: teamwork and leadership.

Daniel Fellows, Marketing Director at global wellness company Lifeworks, believes the Euros highlighted the effectiveness of good management.

“Teams such as Iceland and Wales were not littered with stellar names, yet their players would make up many people’s team of the tournament. Managers such as Coleman and Conte were also able to galvanise their players and staff in a way few thought possible,” he said to HR Grapevine.
