Around the Web: Do Runners Make Better Employees??
Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009
Around the Web is photos, posts, thoughts, ideas found while browsing other sites, galleries on the web that inspire debate and discussion that we host here.
Came across a blog post on The Brand Builder Blog which examines the notion that Runners, particularly endurance/distance runners usually make better overall employees. He extends this definition to include long distance cyclists, triathletes, and Ironmen.
As a former cross country runner myself, I can immediately relate to running building
a iron will and determination when on the road. When you find the strength to continue on the course long after your body has depleted its resources is the stuff of legends.
This post highlights the idea that serious runners tend to carry over the same intensity and level of committment to their day to day working lives. The author states that he has “yet to meet an Ironman or marathoner who didn’t take his or her intensity and dedication to their job”
