Students Take Over: Leadership Unlocked with Josephine, Jarrett, and Matthew

This spring 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 "Leadership Unlocked" produced and created by Josephine McCray, Jarrett Phillips, and Matthew Mackey.  

In the podcast, they interview Jeff Earls, the Assistant Director of Athletic Performance (FB) at Penn State University. Before arriving at Penn State, Coach Earls worked in various capacities at Texas Tech University, Tulane University, Purdue University, the University of Texas, Louisiana State University, and in the National Football League with both the Oakland Raiders and Cleveland Browns.  

In the podcast they discuss principles of Situational and Adaptive Leadership. Coach Earls highlights that great leaders are demanding, but not demeaning, that they both accept their role AND star in their role every day, and discusses his mantra: "It'll never happen through you if it's not happening in you."

Consistency, genuiness, and intentionality are key messages that surface throughout the conversation. I hope you enjoy!
