The Twelfth Player - The Seminar
An Overview
The Twelfth Player seminar is designed for teams and organisations that want to be united. Where all the talent is directed towards the collective goal. That want to work together as one.
The twelfth player seminar focuses on creating and developing a united team. The concept of the twelfth player derives from football, where a united team of eleven players, can build an aggregation of power between them, as a result of their collectivity.
This additional power is the equivalent of having an additional, or twelfth player.
In the presence of this unseen twelfth player, teams can go well beyond their perceived boundaries of possibility.
A perfect example of this was demonstrated in the 1999 Champions League Final, when Manchester United scored two improbable goals in the dying minutes of the game to defeat a shocked Bayern Munich.
The United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, whilst elated, simply shook his head, almost unable to comprehend quite how his team had returned from the brink of certain defeat. Clearly, the power of the Twelfth Player was at work.
Other classic examples of the Twelfth Player at work are:
- England regaining The Ashes from Australia on home soil in 2005
- Liverpool's memorable Champions League Final win v. AC Milan 2005
- England's Rugby World Cup win in Sydney 2003
The Negative Influences...
Of course, there are many factors that can prevent the Twelfth Player concept taking root in a team:
- Lack of a collective cause
- Individualism v. Team Ethos
- A culture of back-stabbing and cliques
