I used to be a sumo wrestler in Japan. Yup, I\u2019m not kidding. I lived in Tokyo, in a house with 30 of the strongest sumo wrestlers in the world. We did everything together: lived, trained, and ate.<\/span><\/p>\n

My time in the sumo house has taught me a lot. Not only how to become a good sumo wrestler \u2014 or how to gain 11 kilos in six weeks \u2014 but also the mindset to be successful in your professional career. <\/span><\/p>\n

I could write a whole book on why sumo wrestlers make amazing colleagues (which I actually did), but I\u2019ll just stick to the top three reasons in this article.<\/span><\/p>\n

So here\u2019s why you need a sumo wrestler in your team.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Sumo wrestlers are humble<\/b><\/h2>\n

Nothing makes you more humble than getting a good beating by a half-naked wrestler in a clay ring. I had my fair share of defeats during my time in the sumo house. But with defeat comes humility. And in that humility, I found growth. <\/span><\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t just about accepting that some are stronger than me (ok fine, everyone in the house was). Mostly, it came down to admitting to myself that I wasn\u2019t as great as I always thought I was. And being able to admit your mistakes to yourself \u2014 and others \u2014 is a superpower. <\/span><\/p>\n

Humility takes strength and ultimately gets you a lot of respect, both at home and in the office. Sumo wrestlers are humble, know their position within an organization, and understand that admitting mistakes is precious. <\/span><\/p>\n

Because mistakes that are denied, covered up, or blamed on someone else will never be repaired. In humility, you\u2019ll find a winning strategy. For yourself, your colleagues, and your entire organization.<\/span><\/p>\n
