尽管汤姆·布雷迪是美国国家橄榄球联盟(NFL)历史上获胜最多的球员,但失败对他来说并不陌生。
周二在纽约举行的《财富》全球论坛闭幕式上,汤姆·布雷迪与《财富》杂志主编尚艾俪和哈佛商学院(Harvard Business School)教授兼Thrive Capital执行董事长尼廷·诺里亚进行了对话,讨论了他眼中的成功领导者必须具备的特质。
布雷迪在台上回忆说,在加利福尼亚州圣马特奥上高中时,他是一支球队的替补四分卫,这支球队没赢过一场比赛。
布雷迪对尚艾俪表示:“我们球队的战绩是0胜8负,糟糕透了。而且他们依旧不安排我上场。”
直到之前的新生四分卫退出去打篮球,布雷迪才开始争取这个位置——从那时起,他对橄榄球的热爱与日俱增。在成为密歇根大学(University of Michigan)的首发四分卫之前,他经历了几年的挫折。后来,他在2000年NFL选秀中以第6轮第199顺位被选中。
在那之后,布雷迪屡破联盟纪录,赢得了7个超级碗冠军。他在新英格兰爱国者队(New England Patriots)度过了前20个赛季,赢得了6个超级碗冠军,并在坦帕湾海盗队(Tampa Bay Buccaneers)度过了最后3个赛季,赢得了1个超级碗冠军。在2023赛季结束后,布雷迪正式退役,现在是福克斯体育频道的评论员。
在他的职业生涯中,布雷迪创立过多家公司,包括在2013年参与创立的健康和营养公司TB12。今年1月,他将该公司与健身品牌Nobull合并。
拥有成功心态的人与其他人最大的不同之处在于如何对待失败。
布雷迪表示:“在你的工作和职业生涯中,都免不了要克服逆境。唯一的办法就是经历失败,而失败的唯一方法就是让自己处于舒适区之外。如果你失败了,然后你为你的同事找到一个克服失败的解决方案,你就会获得很多自信,而有了自信,你就更有可能抓住下一次成功的机会。”
布雷迪表示,失败于他而言是“积极的经历,因为它会让你得到教训,并迫使你反省,思考你在哪些方面能做得更好。”
他表示,运动员经常责怪别人而不是自己。他提到,他经常会看比赛录像,听到四分卫把错误归咎于外接手。 “我看着屏幕,心想,你都说了些什么啊?”
有时运动员会怪罪教练,然后教练会责怪球员——布雷迪对这种做法同样持怀疑态度。
他笑着说道:“哦,真的吗? [你的球队]输了40分,但教练的表现却是出色的?这有这回事吗?”
相反,有些球员在犯错时会反省自己,说他们需要做得更好,更好地沟通,更努力地表现,并克服困难。他认为,这些都是强大领导者的标志。(财富中文网)

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.
