Abstract

In contemporary society, the success of professional sports teams relies not only on the individual skills of the athletes and teamwork but also on efficient and innovative management strategies. With the continuous evolution of business management theories, many management theories and practices that have been proven effective in the business field have been found to be equally applicable to the management of professional sports teams, especially in areas such as leadership development, team dynamics, and change management. However, how to concretize the lessons of corporate leadership experiences and successfully apply them to sports team management has become a topic worth exploring. This article aims to bridge the knowledge gap between business management and sports team management by analyzing and summarizing key management strategies from successful corporate leadership cases, exploring the potential application and practical paths of these strategies in professional sports teams. This study not only provides theoretical contributions to sports management but also offers practical guidance and recommendations for sports team managers in practice, aiming to promote the overall competitiveness and sustainable development of sports teams.
