Archives - Episode 62 - Bringing Positive Leadership into the Dugout with Jon Gordon

This episode connects our coaches with renowned author, speaker and leadership guru Jon Gordon to hear about “The Power of Positive Leadership” and how this mindset and approach can transform our programs. Gordon is very familiar with the ABCA, having presented at our 2016 Convention in Nashville, and he is currently working with several MLB organizations and some of the top college baseball programs. In this show, we work to unpack the dynamics around leading positively and the effects this can have with our teams while Gordon continues to challenge our coaches to lead from the inside-out. Gordon offers a call for servant leadership and keeping relationships at the forefront of every coach’s mission plus Jon pulls back the curtain on some of the best examples of positive leaders whom he has had the opportunity to work with, including Clemson football head coach Dabo Swinney and the Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts. This is a powerful episode for any coach interested in arming his players with perspective and resilience to the adversity faced inside our game.
