The Take Home

In episode 5, I lecture on chapter 14 of the 9th edition of Peter
G. Northouse's "Leadership: Theory and Practice." During the
segment, I discuss the Glass Ceiling and Leadership Labyrinth
metaphors which as they are used to describe the intersection of
gender and leadership in the sports world. Those interested in
learning more are encouraged to read these two research articles:

Affiliation Networks of Senior Woman Administrators and Athletic
Directors

the Collegiate Recreation Profession 


In the Rapid Fire Interview segment, I discuss leadership
philosophy and principles with Erin McCormick, the Vice President
& General Manager at Gwinnett Stripers (@GoStripers). Erin is
a fellow member of the Trinity University alumni community and is
one of a handful of female General Managers in AAA baseball. She
highlights her "rising tides lift all ships" philosophy and
describes the difference between problem solvers and problem
seekers. She also discusses why experience, internships, and
volunteerism matters for those wanting to work in sports.
Additionally, Erin takes her role as one of the few females
holding her position in the industry seriously and she approaches
her day-to-day decisions using the "you can't be what you can't
see" approach. 


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"
