THE LOWDOWN EPISODE #34 - THE CAPTAIN'S CLASS w/ SAM WALKER

I was delighted to sit down recently and record with one of my favourite authors; Sam Walker. Sam’s extensive research on leadership has reshaped many peoples thoughts including my own on sculpting a team. 'The Captain's Class' is a book which will certainly stand the test of time. Here in this hour long conversation Sam debunks the myths and fallacies over what true leadership looks like, describing some of the characteristics we come to eulogize Tier One captains by. Furthermore we also discuss how his research has influenced important decisions taken by Gareth Southgate and Thomas Tuchel in recent times. Expect to hear more about;

- How this was the outcome of 14 years of extensive research!

- Sam's consensus as to why there is such a diverse range of Tier One teams?

- How much at odds is this idea of leadership with today's individual powered society?

- Can a star player also be the key leader?

- Insights into the selection process of Harry Kane as Gareth Southgate's captain.

- Why exactly are dynasties so rare?

- How transferable are these lessons to the business world?
