Leading like you mean it: lessons from Ted Lasso (and real life)
Most of us have watched Ted Lasso and thought "I want to work somewhere like that." But what actually makes AFC Richmond work isn't Ted. It's the fact that everyone leads, in their own way, from wherever they sit.
This talk uses Ted Lasso as a lens to explore what collective leadership really looks like in practice. We'll look at why great teams stop waiting for one person to have all the answers, what gets in the way, and how you can start building a more Leaderful team, no matter your title.
You don't need to have watched it to get something from this talk. But there will be spoilers.
