Why COVID has us thinking about our core

Elite athletes have long known what many organizational leaders are now learning: core strength is the key to success. On the track, ice, court and field, coordination, agility, and pure explosive power are centered in the core. Core strength is a vital component of almost every sport, since the core provides essential stability for all aspects of physical motion. For organizations, core strength provides the stability to withstand unforeseen challenges, to adapt to new conditions and to move strategically forward. So what’s the equivalent of planks and pushups for organizational health?

At Starboard, we’re focused on three core exercises—planning, team-building and executive coaching—to help our clients develop the strength required to survive and thrive in the current climate.
