The Take Home

In episode 7, I lecture on chapter 6 from the 9th edition of
Peter G. Northouse's "Leadership: Theory and Practice." During
the segment, I describe the Path-Goal leadership approach,
highlight the basics of how Path-Goal theory works, and conclude
with strengths and criticisms of the model. 


In the Rapid Fire Interview segment, I discuss leadership
philosophy and principles with Jay Riola,
the Senior Vice President of Strategy & Innovation at
the Orlando Magic. Jay is a fellow member of the Trinity
University alumni community and during his time on the Trinity
men's basketball team they competed in the NCAA tournament four
straight seasons. 


He highlights why building relationships matter and the power of
transparency and collaboration. Jay knows that great leaders
serve their team members by advocating for resources, which often
takes the form of leading up and leading laterally. He also
describes how being aware that the leader isn't always
the expert actually enables others to act and allows the
team to be more successful.  


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.
