Have you ever wondered, as a coach or leader, what impact you’re having? Would you like to increase your skills in building a team? Do you long to be a part of something bigger than yourself?

On today’s episode I interview Larry Shyatt, a native of Cleveland, Ohio. Larry is one of the brightest minds in the game of basketball, and I refer to him as the godfather of hoops. He was the 1998 National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) District 13 Coach of the Year as Head Coach at Wyoming, the 1998 Western Athletic Conference Mountain Division Coach of the Year, and was named four times as the Top Assistant Coach in the Nation by the Basketball Times.

Come along as we address the questions, discuss the issues, and look at the one thing that all leaders need to do, and do well.
