From Accountability to Authenticity: Leadership Lessons from College Baseball with Rucker Taylor, Head Baseball Coach at Davidson College II Ep 45
Description
Think about leading a college baseball team. You’re working with 18- to 22-year-olds who also go to school and must keep up their grades. Team members are constantly in flux - graduating, getting drafted, freshman getting acclimated, transfers from other schools, etc. Plus, you’re under pressure to win games.
You may not be leading a sports team but there are lessons we can take from sports and apply them leadership in a traditional work environment. After all, there’s one thread that runs through any strong team – good leadership.
In this episode, Rucker Taylor, Head Baseball Coach at Davidson College, shares his journey of getting comfortable with his authentic leadership style. Rucker unpacks his recent leadership frustration – what were the signs, what caused it, and how he ended up tweaking his approach to give his team what they really needed – more guidance and structure.
