Finished Ted Lasso. Man, what a great show. Looking forward to the Medium thought piece about his positive coaching style and how that translates to leadership in corporate America.
1. Love how he individualizes each player's strengths and weaknesses. He makes sure each player reaches their unique potential.
2. His optimism and earnestness really creates a reality distortion field for others. He embodies "kill them with kindness" and it only works b/c he's 100% genuine.
3. He empowers other people around him to rise up to their leadership styles like Roy and Nate. A great leader lifts others up with them and promotes talent.
4. He forgives easily. It's incredible how he can let go of others who have wronged them and bring them onto his side with forgiveness.
@stevesi shared this great article about Pete Caroll's positive coaching style which reminds me a lot of Ted: si.com/nfl/2014/01/23… During my time at USC everyone knew about Pete's style and the way he made his players and the entire school feel -- hopeful and positive.
