Something that is very important to success in the sports industry is having the ability to work with individuals which have similar and/or different characteristics than you. Last week, the class was treated to an afternoon at PETCO Park to discuss this very topic.
As many people have heard, our class is lucky enough to be working with Richard Andersen from the San Diego Padres. Richard is the Executive Vice President and General Manager of PETCO Park. On any given event night, Richard will have approximately 1600-2000 employee’s which he and his staff are supervising and working with to make that event a success,
Part of what we discussed was that it is extremely important to understand the strengths and weaknesses which your individual personality may bring to an organization. An important takeaway here is that no personality is better than another, but that there are different ways to apply your personality to the organization. Finding the right balance between co-workers can have a significant impact on the overall success and tone of the organization.
During our class session at PETCO we analyzed our self-assessment tests (DISC personality assessment), and engaged in an open discussion on how to achieve the maximum amount of success while working within a large organization such as the Padres.
This was a great experience, and one which the class responded very well too. With the class just getting started, there will without a doubt be more posts to come. Stay tuned!
