The Take Home

In the final episode of season 2, I explore Hill's approach to
Team Leadership as detailed in chapter 16 from the 9th edition of
Peter G. Northouse's "Leadership: Theory and Practice." During
the segment, I highlight connections to our class' definition of
leadership, discuss the importance of a strong culture, provide
an overview of the model, and conclude with strengths and
criticisms of the model. 


In the Rapid Fire Interview segment, I am fortunate to be joined
by Chris Ramsey MBE, the Technical Director for Queens
Park Rangers Football Club (@QPR). Chris has a career in
professional football that spans nearly 45 years and was
appointed as a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in
2019. His commitment to diversity and inclusion is
astounding and his lifelong quest to become better at his craft
was born out of a genuine curiosity and thirst for
knowledge. 


We discuss his leadership philosophy, which includes a
strength-based approach, intentional role-modeling, behavioral
consistency, and why empathy is important. He highlights how
personality shapes our reactions to situations, why it's
important to use your privileges to advocate for change, and that
sport won't become more inclusive until a time when the
decision-makers have an open mind.  


Send me your thoughts and let's keep the
conversation going on Twitter (@TingleJK) or on
LinkedIn.


The first segment of each episode is geared specifically for his
students and features a brief lecture on course readings, much of
which is from the 9th edition of "Leadership: Theory and
Practice" by Peter G. Northouse.


The second segment is great for students and anyone else
interested in the relationship between sports and leadership. The
Rapid Fire Interview segment which features a conversation
between Jacob and brings the leadership theories to life and aims
to give listeners a peek behind the curtain of being a
leader in the dynamic sports biz.


The intro music is "Be My Guest" by Crowander. "My underground"
by Distemper is the closing credits music. The music during the
Rapid Fire segment is "Epic Cinematic" by Scott Holmes Music.
