盡管湯姆·布雷迪是美國國家橄欖球聯(lián)盟(NFL)歷史上獲勝最多的球員,但失敗對他來說并不陌生。
周二在紐約舉行的《財富》全球論壇閉幕式上,湯姆·布雷迪與《財富》雜志主編尚艾儷和哈佛商學(xué)院(Harvard Business School)教授兼Thrive Capital執(zhí)行董事長尼廷·諾里亞進(jìn)行了對話,討論了他眼中的成功領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者必須具備的特質(zhì)。
布雷迪在臺上回憶說,在加利福尼亞州圣馬特奧上高中時,他是一支球隊(duì)的替補(bǔ)四分衛(wèi),這支球隊(duì)沒贏過一場比賽。
布雷迪對尚艾儷表示:“我們球隊(duì)的戰(zhàn)績是0勝8負(fù),糟糕透了。而且他們依舊不安排我上場?!?/p>
直到之前的新生四分衛(wèi)退出去打籃球,布雷迪才開始爭取這個位置——從那時起,他對橄欖球的熱愛與日俱增。在成為密歇根大學(xué)(University of Michigan)的首發(fā)四分衛(wèi)之前,他經(jīng)歷了幾年的挫折。后來,他在2000年NFL選秀中以第6輪第199順位被選中。
在那之后,布雷迪屢破聯(lián)盟紀(jì)錄,贏得了7個超級碗冠軍。他在新英格蘭愛國者隊(duì)(New England Patriots)度過了前20個賽季,贏得了6個超級碗冠軍,并在坦帕灣海盜隊(duì)(Tampa Bay Buccaneers)度過了最后3個賽季,贏得了1個超級碗冠軍。在2023賽季結(jié)束后,布雷迪正式退役,現(xiàn)在是??怂贵w育頻道的評論員。
在他的職業(yè)生涯中,布雷迪創(chuàng)立過多家公司,包括在2013年參與創(chuàng)立的健康和營養(yǎng)公司TB12。今年1月,他將該公司與健身品牌Nobull合并。
擁有成功心態(tài)的人與其他人最大的不同之處在于如何對待失敗。
布雷迪表示:“在你的工作和職業(yè)生涯中,都免不了要克服逆境。唯一的辦法就是經(jīng)歷失敗,而失敗的唯一方法就是讓自己處于舒適區(qū)之外。如果你失敗了,然后你為你的同事找到一個克服失敗的解決方案,你就會獲得很多自信,而有了自信,你就更有可能抓住下一次成功的機(jī)會?!?/p>
布雷迪表示,失敗于他而言是“積極的經(jīng)歷,因?yàn)樗鼤屇愕玫浇逃?xùn),并迫使你反省,思考你在哪些方面能做得更好?!?/p>
他表示,運(yùn)動員經(jīng)常責(zé)怪別人而不是自己。他提到,他經(jīng)常會看比賽錄像,聽到四分衛(wèi)把錯誤歸咎于外接手。 “我看著屏幕,心想,你都說了些什么???”
有時運(yùn)動員會怪罪教練,然后教練會責(zé)怪球員——布雷迪對這種做法同樣持懷疑態(tài)度。
他笑著說道:“哦,真的嗎? [你的球隊(duì)]輸了40分,但教練的表現(xiàn)卻是出色的?這有這回事嗎?”
相反,有些球員在犯錯時會反省自己,說他們需要做得更好,更好地溝通,更努力地表現(xiàn),并克服困難。他認(rèn)為,這些都是強(qiáng)大領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者的標(biāo)志。(財富中文網(wǎng))

Despite being the winningest player in NFL history, Tom Brady is no stranger to failure.
Closing out the Fortune Global Forum in New York Tuesday, Tom Brady spoke opposite Fortune editor-in-chief Alyson Shontell and Harvard Business School professor and Thrive Capital executive chairman Nitin Nohria about what, to his mind, distinguishes winning leaders.
As a high schooler in San Mateo, Calif., Brady explained, he was the backup quarterback on a team that didn’t win a single game, he recalled onstage.
“We were 0-8, we sucked so bad,” Brady told Shontell. “And they still wouldn’t put me on the field.”
It wasn’t until the first freshman quarterback quit to play basketball that Brady pursued the position—and his love for football grew from there. Though it would still be several more years—and setbacks—before he would become the starting quarterback at the University of Michigan. After that he was the sixth-round, 199th overall NFL draft pick of 2000.
Brady went on to smash league records, earning seven Super Bowl titles. He spent his first 20 seasons on the New England Patriots, where he won six Super Bowls, and his final three seasons on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he won one. He officially retired at the end of the 2023 season and is now a Fox Sports commentator.
Brady has launched many business ventures over the course of his career including TB12, a health and nutrition company he cofounded in 2013. In January, he merged the company with fitness brand Nobull.
He sees failure as the key differentiator in those with a winning mindset.
“The reality of your business and career is overcoming adversity,” Brady said. “The only way to do that is to fail, and the only way to fail is to put yourself in uncomfortable positions. If you fail, and then you figure out a solution for the people you work with to overcome the failure, you gain a lot of self confidence, and if you gain self confidence, you’ll get a better chance for the next opportunity to succeed.”
Failure is “amazing” to Brady, he said, “because it teaches you, and forces you, to look inside yourself and see what you can do better.”
Athletes often blame anyone but themselves, he said. He mentioned that he’ll often watch a game tape and hear a quarterback blaming an error on the wide receiver. “I’m watching the screen like, what did you just say?”
Sometimes athletes will blame coaches, and then coaches will blame players—which Brady finds equally suspect.
“Oh really? [Your team] got beat by 40 points but you had a magical coaching performance? Is that right?” he said with a laugh.
On the other hand, there are players who, when they err, say they themselves need to do a better job, communicate better, work harder, and overcome. Those are the signs of strong leaders, he said.
