In episode 4, I lecture on chapter 4 of the 9th edition of Peter G. Northouse's "Leadership: Theory and Practice." During the segment, I discuss behavioral approaches to studying leadership, the DISC behavioral profile, and highlight the Blake-Mouton Leadership Grid.

In the Rapid Fire Interview segment, I discuss leadership philosophy and leadership with Christina Barrow (@XinaDavidson) the International Officiating Manager at World Netball ( @WorldNetball_ ). Christina came to the sport later in life and moved into her current role after many years as a project manager for a global company. The experience of shifting from the for-profit world to a world governing body in the sports world gave her a unique perspective and allowed her to develop her leadership philosophy. In our conversation she highlights the differences between positional and personal power, why 360 degree evaluations are so important, and that good leaders are empathetic role models who live the organizational values. 

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" by Distemper is the closing credits music. The music during the Rapid Fire segment is "Epic Cinematic" by Scott Holmes Music.
