This case study is available in a 90-minute or 180-minute online (Zoom) format.
Eighteen months before the 2019 Rugby World Cup, the Springboks ranked number seven in the world and had suffered some of their worst losses in their history. Based on the results, this was perhaps the worst side ever to represent South Africa at a World Cup. Back then, what Rassie Erasmus and Siya Kolisi achieved in Japan seemed a certain impossibility. And today, we can consider it one of the greatest turnarounds the rugby world has ever seen.
In this case study, we explore the good decisions made by the Springboks’ leaders and see how those decisions led to historic moments for the nation. We unpack the high-performance habits and self-belief that shaped the Springboks’ identity and ask: What inspirational leadership behaviours stirred up this miracle of high performance?
It is often assumed that the ability to inspire is innate, but it isn’t. It can, in fact, be developed.
We explore the authentic relationship between Coach and Captain, their approaches to diversity and inclusion, and we see how they influenced the team’s ability to perform to expectation. Notice how the concepts of alignment and ownership emerge as we learn how these inspirational leaders adjusted their thinking, decisions and actions in agile, creative and positive ways.
“Kolisi employed a unique leadership style of inclusivity. While that selfless approach earned him the buy-in of his teammates, it also gave him the backing of the country’s rugby public” – Lloyd Burnard
