Primo Management Group on Building a Healthy Competition

Primo Management Group's leader highlighted the team's success, and identified the role healthy competition plays. He also offered suggestions for business leaders to foster similar characteristics in their organizations' cultures.

“This is a really exciting time for all of us at Primo Management Group,” said Luca, the company’s director of operations. “Business is better than ever, and I have a strong group of leaders along with passionate and dedicated team members to thank for it. Together, we have nurtured an office environment that is creative, empowering, and energetic. I’m eagerly awaiting all the opportunities for growth throughout the future.”

Luca explained that recognizing his associates’ achievements and stimulating healthy competition are two of the most effective ways to ensure such success. “Just by encouraging friendly rivalry, it’s possible to boost productivity higher than ever,” he stated. “Other business leaders who take this approach will find that their associates better understand where they rate in reference to their colleagues, which results in even greater motivation and performance.”

Individuals who play or used to play sports tend to already have team mindsets. They are motivated to win, and to work with others toward common goals. Of course, managers must make this as easy for team members as possible by clearly defining objectives and expectations, as well as by acknowledging efforts."

Primo Management Group’s Director Explains How to Develop Competitive Creativity

“Don’t get me wrong, Primo Management Group thrives on teamwork,” Luca elaborated. “It’s just that I believe it’s entirely possible to balance a group-focus with some friendly competition. Doing so produces stellar work. One of the ways I maintain this balance is by making sure everyone knows that it’s all in fun. No one is going to be judged – and certainly not punished – if they don’t do as well as they’d like. It simply facilitates learning, strategy, and excitement.”

According to Luca, creating this type of office environment also greatly depends on careful hiring practices. Whenever he adds to the team, he assesses whether the candidate in question has the drive to want to come out on top. He hires professionals who expect the best from themselves instead of assuming that true success is something that only happens for others. This sort of goal-mindedness, combined with sufficient likeability, makes a great combination.

“To take things a step further during the hiring process, I suggest looking into applicants’ athletic experiences,” continued Luca. “Individuals who play or used to play sports tend to already have team mindsets. They are motivated to win, and to work with others toward common goals. Of course, managers must make this as easy for team members as possible by clearly defining objectives and expectations, as well as by acknowledging efforts.”

“Finally, it’s important to keep in mind that competition need not be directly related to work,” Luca concluded. “My colleagues and I always enjoy our team social events. Competition over things like bowling, miniature golf, and relay races improves productivity back at the office.”
