Global outplacement firm Challenger, Gray &amp; Christmas, Inc. estimates that $134 million in wages are wasted during just the first two days of the NCAA basketball tournament. But the good news is that there are some valuable business-related lessons to be learned from the tourney. An article from Young Entrepreneur, \u201cWhat Your Business Can Learn From March Madness,\u201d describes a few.   Underdogs win.\u00a0Every year, the tournament is highlighted by some major upsets, and this year is definitely no exception. For smaller businesses facing off against bigger competitors, this can provide great inspiration and a reminder that maximum effort typically ends with good results, no matter what the odds.  Working together works.\u00a0Every team in the tournament has talent, but the teams who are most successful are the ones with the right chemistry. The same principle applies in business.

Some moments really matter.\u00a0Once you\u2019re in the tournament, the past doesn\u2019t mean anything. It\u2019s a blank slate and anyone has the opportunity to be the champ. The lesson for companies and employees is to look past prior setbacks and focus on your goals for the future.
