    'Need to Lead' Podcast | Ep. 50 | John Wooden: Leadership Case Study No. 2

    This weeks episode of the Need to Lead podcast is dedicated to a legend in sports leadership You've probably heard his name before, or seen some cool quotes from him - without really knowing what he done or why he's so well respected! John Wooden was the head coach of the UCLA Bruins basketball team from 1948-1975. During his tenure, he led the team to 12 NCAA championships in 10 years (including 7 in a row), Including four undefeated 30-0 seasons, and finished his coaching career with a crazy 81% win record in over 1,000 games! Aside from just making his team hard to beat, he was the kinda leader who built his people up to be better off the court too Unfortunately he died a few years back, but his teachings and legacy lives on. A lot of the stuff covered in here comes from the book 'Wooden on Leadership' so if you like this episode, definitely check the book out. Enjoy, hope it helps Adam

    'Need to Lead' Podcast | Ep. 49 | Rewarding the Wrong Behaviours

    This weeks episode of the Need to Lead podcast is all about how we reward people for doing the wrong things ^yep, you read that right^ It doesn't make sense, I know But so much of the things you do as a leader can actually promote more of the 'wrong' actions in your people Instead of inspiring them to do the 'right' things And it's not just in business either... In your relationship, with children, friends and family... You might be rewarding what's wrong and punishing what's right - without even realising it! Enjoy the episode, hope it helps, Adam

    'Need to Lead' Podcast | Ep. 48 | When Strengths Become a Weakness

    This week's episode of the Need to Lead Podcast is all about strengths and weaknesses I'm sure you're familiar with the whole idea of knowing your strengths and playing to them, while identifying your weakness and minimising them And 100%, and important part of progress and success will depend on recognising the areas that you are naturally 'great' (Like Messi dribbling a ball - unbelievable) BUT an important thing to keep in mind is that your strengths and weaknesses are not static - they can change based on the context you're in Hope this episode helps, and feel free to share it with anyone you think can benefit from it!

    'Need to Lead' Podcast | Ep. 47 | A Paranoid Optimist

    There are two essential traits in successful people that you rarely hear about, But will nearly always find if you look hard enough - Optimism, and paranoia. A bit of optimism that says 'It's all gonna work out, we need to keep going' Coupled with a dose of paranoia that doesn't let you rest on your laurels and get complacent. It's an interesting combo, but one that has driven so many of the successful people you look up to today! Hope this helps, Adam.

    'Need to Lead' Podcast | Ep. 45 | It Never Ends

    "No matter how good you get, you can always get better - that's the exciting part" - Tiger Woods It might sound like a contradiciton But the best/worst part of personal growth, learning and development Is the fact that there's no 'End' You never reach a point where you've learned everything, know it all, and have no potential to be better And while that can be inspiring and motivating At some times it can also get overwhelming, and make you feel like there's no point in carrying on climbing a mountain that has no peak That's normal, and part of the process In this episode we cover how that plays out in trying to achieve your goals, and what you can do about it Aswell as How unrealistic expectations kill your dreams Why you're not as "bad" or "behind" as you think, even compared to some of the all time greats What you can do to use every situation in life to make you even better than you were before (no matter how bad it gets) And plenty more I hope it helps, and feel free to share with anyone you think would get value from hearing this Until next time, all the best Adam
