Students Take Over: Beyond the Scoreboard with Marina and Peyton

This summer I'm releasing bonus episodes of The Take Home. No new lectures on leadership, instead I'm sharing the amazing podcasts created by the students in my Leadership for Sport Professionals class.

Today's bonus episode features "Beyond the Scoreboard" produced and created by Marina Delia Delaluna and Peyton Bowser. In the podcast, they speak with Coach Ryan Forehan-Kelly (@ForehanKelly) of the Brooklyn Nets (@BrooklynNets). Ryan is currently an Assistant Coach with the Nets and has a long professional career that included stints in the NBA G-League and internationally in Japan, Venezuela, Italy, Jordan, China, France, and Mexico.

Coach Forehan-Kelly describes why great leaders focus on developing relationships before jumping into tasks. “You gotta know someone before you’re in the fryin’ pan!” He also says great leaders: 1) know how to listen, 2) look to collaborate, 3) hold themselves and followers accountable to high standards, and 4) realize they can’t treat everyone the same. His mantra “You Can’t Take Time for Granted” is an important lesson for us all. 

Let’s keep the conversation going on LinkedIn or at @TingleJK on Twitter.
