February 20 is recognized as National Leadership Day. It’s a great time to focus on developing future leaders and those with leadership potential. You might be surprised to find out that 9 Square in the Air is a fantastic tool for detecting leaders that may otherwise go unnoticed. 

No matter how much time you have available, you can work some 9 Square in the Air into your workday. It may be anything from an impromptu game over lunch to a fully-scheduled tournament bracket, but your focus will be watching leaders emerge.

Here’s what you might notice:

Natural Coaches Emerge. You’ll probably get one or two that can’t wait to dust off their old high school athletic chops and show off a bit. Then there are those who are surprisingly great at encouraging others, connecting with colleagues during the game and taking it in stride when they get “out.” This is an ideal setting for seeing coaching talents you didn’t know were there. 

You May Have An Organizational Whiz, Too: Did someone volunteer to organize a tournament? Coordinate a snack sign-up? Or maybe they got the game on the schedule, reserved the spot in the warehouse to play and notified all of your team of the details. These are signs of someone who can run big events or act as a project manager. 

Culture Chameleon: Another talent you may want to watch for during your game of 9 Square in the Air is your social genius. It’s the one who lets someone else take her spot when it’s her turn to get in the game because she’s in the middle of a great conversation with someone in line. It’s the person who comes up with the idea of team colors or remembers that it’s a colleague’s birthday and picks up a cake. This is your emerging leader who can be tasked with creating a fantastic company culture. 

9 Square in the Air is a lot of fun, and brings a great way for employees to decompress after a tough day or simply connect and laugh together. To order yours, contact us at 9 Square in the Air today!
