Episode #351
Effective leadership starts with self-awareness and the tone you set; prioritize connection and kindness to build trust before offering correction.
Ditch perfectionism—progress and vulnerability create trust and performance; fear can be a catalyst for thorough preparation.
Leaders are developed, not just born; you don’t need a title to lead—model excellence, study great leaders, and seek stretch opportunities.
Would I want to work for me today? Would I want to play for me today?
You don't trust people you don't know.
Leaders are made, not born.
There are already hundreds of leadership experts (preaching almost the same ideas) out there, but Dr. Jim Afremow and Phil White prove that there’s more to learn— and that’s exactly what we delve into in this episode!
Dr. Jim Afremow is a sought-after mental skills coach, licensed professional counselor, and author of “The Champion’s Mind.” He was the sports psychologist for Arizona State University for 10 years and also served as the peak performance coordinator for the San Francisco Giants.
Meanwhile, Phil White is an Emmy-nominated writer and co-host of the Basketball Strong Podcast with Tim DiFrancesco and Champion Conversations Podcast with Jim Afremow.
Jim and Phil are the authors of “The Leader’s Mind: How Great Leaders Prepare, Perform, and Prevail.”
If you’re looking for a way to become a better leader, Jim and Phil have got you covered.
Listen in as we go inside the minds of the great leaders in history, the questions you should ask yourself to become a great leader, and— once and for all— the answer to the question: are leaders born or made? We’ll cover all that and more, so don’t miss it!
