In episode 2, of Season 6, after the Living Leadership segment, I
provide a brief lecture on Kouzes and Posner's "The Leadership
Challenge," during which I describe the fundamentals of
leadership, the characteristics of admired leaders, and highlight
the Five Practices (or behaviors) of Exemplary Leaders.
In the Living Leadership Interview segment, I discuss leadership
philosophy with Libby Kruse, the Vice President of Partnership
Sales at Minnesota Timberwolves & Lynx and Trinity University
alumna ('14).
Libby describes her personal leadership journey, coming from
Minnesota to play college basketball at Trinity, a
transformational coaching change, an exercising outsight in as
many ways possible. She details the importance of mentors and why
being curious is a key personal trait for emerging leaders to
develop and refine.
She emphasizes that leadership is earned, not given - and can be
accomplished by building relationships, developing trust, and
being curious. Libby cares deeply about being a role model,
inspiring others, challenging (with a purpose), allowing others
to be their best, and why she relishes being "the hype
woman."
Libby also describes how her experience as an athlete and
self-awareness, developed partially through using the DISC
profile, allowed her to see two or three steps into the future.
It was so much fun to catch up with my former student -- I hope
you love the Spring Break story as much as I do!!!

Season 6 kicks off with the Living Leadership Interview. In the
segment, I was lucky to sit down with Marco Ferruzzi to discuss
his leadership philosophy and how he sees it playing out in his
day-to-day.
Marco is the Sporting Director for San Antonio Futbol Club (SAFC)
and is also the parent of a Trinity sport management alumna! He
is a San Antonio native and after graduating from Keystone High
School, we attended the University of North Carolina to play
soccer. After a long professional playing career, Marco obtained
his USSF coaching 'A' license and got the opportunity to join the
coaching staff at FC Dallas. After two decades in Dallas, Marco
came home to San Antonio to assume his current role with SAFC in
November 2023.
During our conversation, he highlights the importance of mentors
and how leaders (mentors) have the vision to support followers
and to help them recognize gifts they might not even see that
they possess. Marco talks at length about why it's important for
leaders to be great listeners, to have a clear vision, and create
inclusive environments in which employees feel safe to make
mistakes and be innovative.
Listen for how Marco talks about emergent leadership and how
people can BE leaders even without the title.
After my conversation with Marco, I lecture on chapter 1 of Peter
G. Northouse's "Leadership: Theory and Practice." General
concepts of leadership are discussed, the term is defined, and
there's a special focus on the connection between leadership and
power.

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.
In this bonus episode of Season 5, I'm sharing "Outside the
Lines" which was created and produced by Harrison Durow,
Christian Green, and Zander Guckian. Here are their liner notes:
In this episode of Outside the Lines, we interviewed Maryellen
Durow, a Hall of Fame volleyball player at the University of
Northern Iowa and a varsity coach and athletic director in her
own right, about how her experiences shape her outlook on
leadership.
Maryellen narrates her journey from growing up in Milwaukee, to
being a successful athlete at Pius High School, where she helped
her teams compete for state championships. She explains how being
an athlete helped her develop resilience, teamwork, and the
potential to change a team culture when things go south.
The discussion explores gender expectations in leadership,
changing opportunities for women in athletics, and the balancing
act of being assertive versus likable. Inspired by her high
school coach, Mr. Fisher, and the great UCLA Coach John Wooden,
Maryellen teaches the fighting values of hard work, trust, and
teamwork.
She also discusses the significance of setting goals, building
strong relationships, and adapting a leadership approach to
individual and team needs. Her advice for aspiring coaches and
athletes centers around being vulnerable, honing people skills,
and valuing team success over individual accolades.
The lessons from this episode go beyond lessons we can learn on
the court and in administration, and they also show how we live
our day-to-day lives around building a culture of trust and
growth. Maryellen’s wisdom offers concrete advice for all who
want to lead with authenticity and purpose.

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.
In this bonus episode of Season 5, I'm sharing "Game Changers:
Leadership in Sports" which was created and produced by Abby
Miller and Trey Green. Here are their liner notes:
In this episode of Game Changer: Leadership in Sport, we talk
with Olympians Conor McCullough and Conor McCullough Jr to
discuss situational approaches, followership, and gender in
sports which are found in chapters 5, 13, and 14 from the 9th
edition of Peter G. Northouse's "Leadership: Theory and
Practice."
Conor McCullough is an Irish athlete who competed in the men’s
hammer throw. He studied at Kent State and Boston University.
Eventually, he went on to compete at the 1984 and 1988 Summer
Olympic Games. Later, he welcomed his son Conor McCollough Jr.
into the world. Conor Jr. studied at Princeton University and the
University of Southern California. In 2016, he competed in the
2016 Olympic Games, following in the footsteps of his father.
They both mention the importance of adjusting leadership styles
to match an athletes preferred style. They both referred to this
approach as meeting people where they are at. Preferences and
needs of the athletes change daily, and a good leader has to be
able to adapt. Conor Jr. also talks about his experience being
coached by different coaching styles. They also mention how women
in sports have come a long way. Conor Jr. always felt that having
women and men practicing with each other pushes everybody to work
harder and created a space for women to achieve great things and
avoid the labyrinth they often face. They part with words of
wisdom on how to be an elite athlete. In their advice, Conor and
Conor Jr. mention trying a variety of sports growing up to
become a well rounded athlete.
