Are you part of the Captain Class? | The WSJ’s Sam Walker on the 7 core qualities of true leaders

What do the greatest leaders of all time have in common? You may
think it comes down to a certain sense of charisma or some
inhuman level of talent - because that’s what we’ve all been
conditioned to think defines a leader. But superstars aren’t the
same thing as super leaders. In fact, the greatest leaders often
fly under the radar and are actually easy to miss.


In this episode of the Tony Robbins Podcast, you’ll be hearing
from renowned leadership expert and bestselling author, Sam
Walker.


A former reporter, sports columnist and sports editor, Sam
founded The Wall Street Journal’s prizewinning daily sports
coverage. And most recently, helped launch the Journal’s
leadership column. He is the author of Fantasyland, a bestselling
account of his time in Tout Wars, America’s top fantasy-baseball
expert competition (of which he is a two-time champion). And in
his latest book – The Captain Class – Sam profiles the greatest
teams in history and identifies the secret sauce that drove these
unconventional men and women to achieve massive success.  


Sam and our host, Ana Yoerg, do a deep dive into the behavioral
and psychological traits of these individuals and how they have
been the driving force behind some of the most legendary teams in
history. They discuss the myths about leadership – and how to
really identify and cultivate the leaders you see in your own
organization. Because it isn’t always obvious. In fact, it rarely
is. And as Sam reveals, once you do find these individuals, you
need to understand how to effectively partner with them so that
they assume a more autonomous role that can ultimately lead the
entire team to success.
