This fall, I'm rereleasing all eight episodes of season 1, but cutting out the lecture portion of the podcast. I hope you appreciate hearing the leadership gold from these sports industry executives, either again or for the first time!

In this episode, I interview Bob Wallace, Chair of the Thompson Coburn Sports Law Group. He indicates that the best leaders are those who emerge, based on their behaviors, rather than simply being appointed. Bob details why he believes great leaders are empathetic, good listeners, have emotional intelligence, and are kind. His story about the equipment manager who said, "You always spoke to us" exemplifies all four of those leadership principles!

I encourage you to listen to After the Buzzer (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/after-the-buzzer/id1436083335) to gain insight from other top sports industry thought leaders.
