He quoted sport psychologist Dr Bob Rootella in his remarks, “Golf is about how well you accept, respond to, and score with your misses much more so than it is a game of your perfect shots.”
“Equally in business we pay more attention to learning and understanding what compromises profit maximisation than to how much gains we make in a given business period,” he added.
