The Secrets to a Successful Team: How a Winning Football Program can Guide Your Business

The CEO Podcast

What does it take to build and manage a successful TEAM? Scott and Vince sit down with University of San Diego Head Football Coach, Dale Lindsey, to discuss managing a successful team. While building a team in sports versus team building in business may have some clear differences, the principles that go into the development and management of a successful team are the same.

Scott, Vince, and Coach Lindsey talk about identifying the right people—those that align with the core values of the organization and ensuring that they have the right personality to align or adapt with the team philosophy. They discuss how leadership types play an important role in driving the team—in bringing the best out of the team. They talk about the importance of leaders listening to their leadership teams. Whether that's coaches with their coordinators or CEOs with their executives. If you're not listening to them, you may need to ask yourself "why did you hire them?"

Tune in this week for this great conversation with special guest, USD Head Football Coach, Dale Lindsey.
