Servant Leadership and Building a Winning Team | American Core Ideas

Subscribe to The American IdeaSubscribe

Building a winning team - in business, education, sports, or the military - is hard, essential work; sustaining excellence over time is, perhaps, even harder. Kari Pickens, head coach of Ashland University’s Women’s Basketball Team, knows a lot about both, and shares her experiences and insights with Jeff in this episode.

Kari’s reflections are also firmly connected to the American tradition of servant leadership - of a leader who puts their people and mission ahead of themselves, working to get the best out of people while helping them develop as individuals.

For basketball fans there’s a lot to love in this episode. Those interested in organizational culture and personnel development will find equally as much.
