The Olympics kick off August 5! Aside from entertainment, it’s an opportunity for you to learn from the athletes.

Here are 5 leadership lessons from the 2016 competitors:
- Clearly identify your mission. Go for the gold! Knowing what your ultimate goal is and making it as simple as possible helps guide your organization.
- Know when to draw the line. Know when to admit defeat. And, perhaps more importantly, learn from your losses.
- Get the timing right. Don’t jump the gun.
- Embrace doubt. Even world-class athletes have doubts. Constantly questioning your purpose and reevaluating your mission are crucial to developing as a leader.
- Follow your call to action. As athletes champion for their country, you represent your company. Figure out what role you play and then play it well.
