Super Taters Announces Key Strategies for Building a Winning Team Drawing Inspiration from Football Playbooks
Super Taters shares football-inspired insights on structuring a successful business team with roles analogous to essential football positions, preparing businesses to succeed during critical times.
United States, 30th Sep 2024 – Incorporating Football Tactics to Build a Winning Team: With football season in full swing, Super Taters, a subsidiary of J-Bobbcatt Enterprises, has shared a playbook of business strategies that draw from the world of football, emphasizing the importance of clear roles, teamwork, and leadership. Jerry J. Bobb, Founder and Owner of Super Taters, shares his vision of how football strategies can be applied to business management, offering valuable advice to owners on how to structure their teams for success.
Drawing on his experience as a seasoned entrepreneur and business consultant, Bobb encourages businesses to reflect on their own playbooks, especially during the crucial 4th quarter of the year. “Winning your year as a business means that every player on your team should know the playbook well and should be ready to execute during crunch time,” Bobb states.
The Importance of Understanding Roles: From the Locker Room to the Office
In the same way a football coach draws up plays with X’s and O’s, business leaders need to focus on assigning roles and ensuring each team member is positioned for success. According to Bobb, building a winning team starts with a comprehensive understanding of each employee’s role, from key players to support staff.
“Before any play happens on the field, the positions are laid out,” says Bobb. “In business, it’s the same—managers must ensure every employee knows their role and how they contribute to the overall goals.” This concept mirrors the practice of football coaches, who focus on placing players in optimal positions and continuously training them to bring out their best performance.
Leadership on the Field: The Coach and Manager
The role of a coach in football is parallel to that of a business manager. Coaches scout, evaluate, and train players to execute plays to perfection. Similarly, in a business setting, the manager must evaluate each employee’s skill set and train them to perform at their best. Bobb emphasizes that just like a football coach, a business manager doesn’t always work with top-tier talent but can make a huge difference by developing each team member’s strengths.
“A great coach understands how to bring out the best in their players,” Bobb explains. “And a great business manager does the same with their team. It’s not about having the best talent, but about maximizing the talent you have.”
Key Players: Offense and Leadership
In football, the offense is responsible for advancing the ball and scoring points, with key players like the quarterback and wide receivers often gaining the spotlight. In business, similarly, certain employees or team leaders take charge of advancing projects and initiatives, driving the company toward its goals.
However, Bobb notes that it’s important for business leaders to acknowledge every team member’s contributions, even those who don’t always occupy visible roles. “In business, you may have an employee who is naturally suited to take on leadership. Identifying and nurturing that individual, even if they don’t have an official title, is key to driving success,” he says.
The Unheralded Contributors: Defense and Support Roles
Football defenses, while often overlooked, play an equally critical role by preventing the opposing team from scoring. These players do the unglamorous yet vital work that ensures a team’s success. In a business setting, these unsung heroes are often support staff, such as janitors, IT personnel, and other behind-the-scenes workers, who maintain operational efficiency.
“These are the people who may not get much attention, but they keep the business running smoothly,” says Bobb. “Without them, the key players would have a much harder time reaching their goals.”
The Specialized Roles: Kickers and Ghost Positions
Football kickers may not be involved in every play, but when their time comes, they are crucial to the team’s success. Similarly, businesses rely on specialized team members—often called “ghost positions”—to step in during critical moments. These individuals might not be visible every day, but their skills are vital when the need arises.
“Kickers don’t make every play, but when their moment arrives, the team is depending on them,” Bobb says. “In business, it’s the same with specialized roles like tech support. They may not always be front and center, but when they’re needed, they’re invaluable.”
Sacrifices for the Greater Good: Special Teams and Specialized Employees
In football, special teams are responsible for making pivotal plays during kickoffs and punts. While they may not receive as much recognition as the offense or defense, their contributions often make the difference between winning and losing.
In a business setting, specialized employees—those who step up during chaotic periods or cover additional duties during short-staffed moments—can play a similar role. “They may not always be the stars, but they make crucial plays that keep the team together and moving forward,” Bobb notes.
Winning as a Team: Collaboration Over Individual Glory
Perhaps one of the most important lessons business leaders can learn from football is that success comes from teamwork. In football, every player, from the star quarterback to the backup linebacker, contributes to the team’s success. Likewise, in business, every employee plays a role in achieving company goals.
“There’s no ‘I’ in team,” Bobb concludes. “Each individual’s contribution, no matter how small, is essential. Winning in business is about knowing who’s on your team and making sure everyone is aligned with the shared goal.”
