Interview with former UPenn wrestler and author of Stacking the Deck David Pottruck

June 7, 2015 By Jim Harshaw

In this eighth episode of Wrestling with Greatness, host Jim Harshaw, a former Division I All American and Division I head wrestling coach, interviews New York Times best-selling author and former CEO of Charles Schwab David Pottruck.

David shares insights into how we can create breakthrough change in an organization as well as leadership skills and his personal success habits. A former wrestler at the University of Pennsylvania, the 1973 Maccabiah Games champion in Greco and honorary captain of the 2000 USA Freestyle Olympic Team in Sydney, he credits much of his success to his experience as a wrestler. He also shares insights into his new book, Stacking the Deck: How to Lead Breakthrough Change Against Any Odds.
