Mia San Mia – Workplace Culture Lessons from the Soccer Pitch

About the Program

FC Bayern Munchen has been one of the most consistently successful soccer teams on the planet over the past five decades. Since the formation in 1963 of the Bundesliga, the top tier league in Germany, the club has captured 29 league titles - more than all other teams combined. This success continues unabated with the team having captured five championship trophies in 2020 alone.  

All those decades of success are rooted in the "Mia San Mia" culture that Bayern developed and continually reinforces with everyone affiliated with the club - from the executive leadership team, to the administrators and support staff, to the coaches and trainers, to the players, and finally to the Youth Academy that represents the next generation of players. Join me for an exploration of the 16 guiding principles that have made Bayern Munchen a consistently successful organization and how you can apply them to your organization to create a culture of excellence and consistent success.

By the end of the session, attendees will have learned 16 guiding principles to creating and sustaining a culture of success.
