In episode 7, I lecture on chapter 6 from the 9th edition of Peter G. Northouse's "Leadership: Theory and Practice." During the segment, I describe the Path-Goal leadership approach, highlight the basics of how Path-Goal theory works, and conclude with strengths and criticisms of the model. 

In the Rapid Fire Interview segment, I discuss leadership philosophy and principles with Jay Riola, the Senior Vice President of Strategy & Innovation at the Orlando Magic. Jay is a fellow member of the Trinity University alumni community and during his time on the Trinity men's basketball team they competed in the NCAA tournament four straight seasons. 

He highlights why building relationships matter and the power of transparency and collaboration. Jay knows that great leaders serve their team members by advocating for resources, which often takes the form of leading up and leading laterally. He also describes how being aware that the leader isn't always the expert actually enables others to act and allows the team to be more successful.  

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.
