5 Things You Must Know from 'The Apprentice: ONE Championship Edition'

Kapanlagi.com - One Championship (ONE), the largest global sports media property in Asia, introduces its latest flagship reality show titled The Apprentice: ONE Championship Edition. This program is scheduled to air in March next month.

For those of you who don't know, The Apprentice is one of the biggest non-scripted television franchises in history. Fans love this show because of its intense boardroom scenes, fiery business competitions, and accurate portrayal of the cutthroat world of entrepreneurship.

It should be noted that this version of The Apprentice by ONE Championship is different from its classic version. This time, there are additional physical challenges, where 16 candidates will compete together and against some big names in martial arts.

1. Time is Very Important

The Apprentice: ONE Championship Edition offers an intense reality scene with high drama, usually chased with predetermined time limits. Everything becomes stressful as the clock keeps ticking. Clearly, this show is very important to watch and the producers need that drama to create a captivating story and engage the emotions of the audience. And of course, the truth portrayed in this show is very real.

We all work with ticking deadlines in real life, so various aspects are truly interconnected. As the candidates race against time to complete tasks and achieve their goals, you can learn that time is very important in high-risk business affairs.

It's all the same in real life. For most of us, time is just about skipping lunch or losing a few hours of sleep. In this show, you are taught not to move deadlines for tasks considered difficult because you have to get the job done no matter what.

2. The Cruelty of Competition in the Real World

The business world is undoubtedly ruthless. Anyone who has ever worked in a company can attest to the fact of this cruelty. People are always competing against each other, striving to reach the top, even sacrificing their colleagues.

The candidates of The Apprentice have a foundation of courage and outspokenness, with very strong and dominant personalities. Giving advice can sometimes be seen as a weakness. With such a diverse mix of temperaments, conflicts are guaranteed to arise.

However, in order to succeed and work together, you must have the ability to ease tension. You need to learn how to resolve conflicts professionally and effectively, sometimes in high-pressure situations, before you can move on to complete the job. If not, everything will fall apart.

The Apprentice: ONE Championship Edition is almost the same in this regard. All 16 participants come from different backgrounds, but they are also all competing for a job offer worth USD $250,000 (approximately Rp 3.4 billion) to work as an apprentice to Chairman and CEO ONE Chatri Sityodtong in Singapore.

3. Small Things Matter

The Apprentice puts candidates in extremely difficult situations, facing seemingly impossible problems. It takes intelligence, willingness, and high business acumen to complete tasks, let alone win challenges.

However, when certain challenges go smoothly, you will often find candidates on the show being bothered by trivial tasks. For example, who can write on the whiteboard, or who moves chairs in meetings. Things that may not seem important in the grand scheme of things.

Although it is crucial to take a step back and refocus on the bigger picture, The Apprentice teaches us that small things have an impact. Some tasks, even though they may seem small and insignificant, are actually necessary to ensure smooth operations.

As they say, sharp thinking is always present in every detail.

4. Responsible for Your Own Failures

Responsibility is a big word, and it is a word that many people avoid. The Apprentice has seen many of its candidates throughout the show's history try to get out of difficult situations by blaming coworkers or external factors for their mistakes. It is truly entertaining to see them scramble, point fingers, and throw each other under the bus, but that is not a good way to operate in the real world.

In the real world, you have to take responsibility for your failures just as you celebrate your victories.
In fact, fans will soon realize that one of the most important mantras often repeated by Chairman and CEO of ONE Championship, Chatri Sityodtong, in his career is that failure is one of the greatest teachers in life. You must be responsible for your own failures, because that is what it means to be a professional.

5. Communication is King

Lastly, The Apprentice: ONE Championship Edition emphasizes the importance of communication. Often, when a team fails in a challenge, it is due to disruptions in communication. Poor communication leads to various problems.

How many times have we found ourselves in a situation of conflict and argument because of differences in opinions? This often happens because most individuals, especially in this show, feel that their personal opinions or inputs are the most important, therefore their voices must be the loudest. Of course, not everyone will accept that, and ultimately it leads to disputes.

In the real world, successful teams are those that communicate well with each other. Great companies encourage people to collaborate and work together, and this involves effective communication with colleagues.
