Breaking Limits: The 4-Minute Mile Story Made Simple
Have you heard the story of Roger Bannister? He was the first person to run a mile in under 4 minutes on May 6, 1954. Before that, everyone thought it was impossible. But once Roger showed it could be done, many others followed. Why? Because seeing someone else do the “impossible” makes us believe we can do it too.
Now, let me tell you a similar story from our experience. A few years ago, a woman who owned a credit broker company reached out to us. She was organizing a team-building event and wanted us to speak to her team. We hopped on a plane last minute to help her out.
The Problem: She had a big concern about one of her brokers. This person didn’t follow the company’s rules, always did things her own way, and sometimes hurt the company’s reputation. The owner was so frustrated she was ready to let this broker go, even though she made deals now and then. Sound stressful? It was!
Our Approach: During the event, we analyzed the team’s interaction styles—how they communicate and process information. When we got to the broker in question, we shared a simple strategy: give her tasks, tell her the deadline, and let her handle it without interference. The owner decided to try it.
The Outcome: Six months later, something incredible happened. That broker became the top performer! In fact, she was making more money than the other nine brokers combined. Even the bank director was impressed and wanted more brokers like her. Why? Because the owner stopped micromanaging and gave her space to work her way—while following company rules.
The Big Win: With just a few changes:
- The broker thrived and showed amazing results.
- The owner’s company earned more commissions than ever before.
- The bank processed more credits and achieved its goals.
Everyone won. Isn’t that what we all want? The right guidance at the right time can lead to BIG results for everyone involved.
