Students Take Over: Evolution of Leadership Through Experiences with Kai, Emily, and Creston

This spring I'm releasing bonus episodes of The Take Home. No new
lectures on leadership, instead I'm sharing the amazing podcasts
created by the students in my Leadership for Sport Professionals
class.


Today's bonus episode features "Evolution of Leadership Through
Experiences" produced and created by Kai Tinker, Emily Hayes, and
Creston King IV. In the podcast, they interview Matt Muehlebach,
the Senior Vice President and General Counsel, Genius Avenue and
5Lights, LLC. Matt is a former University of Arizona Basketball
player during which time helped the team to a Pac 10 championship
while earning Academic All-American honors. During the interview
they discuss the Hill Model for Team Leadership and the
importance of Followership. Matt highlights why great leaders
must understand their roles and know when it's time to move to
the back of the pack and when it's time to let others take the
lead. Recognizing and describing why self-awareness is a key,
Matt shares great stories about his former Arizona Wildcat
teammates, Steve Kerr and Sean Elliot, as exemplars about why
"the best" are self-aware before anything else.  Ultimately,
if you want to be respected as a leader, Matt says you need to be
trusted - and being competent is a great place to start! 


This is a lively conversation, filled with great stories;
enjoy!
