This week on the Way of Champions Podcast we welcome Leadership Expert Tim Kight (@Focus3team). Tim founded Focus 3 in the mid-80’s in Southern California, a life-long student of elite performance with the passion and drive to help organizations achieve their goals. In his college days, Tim transferred from Ohio State to UCLA while running Track. It was at UCLA that he witnessed John Wooden win his 9th and 10th national championship. An experience that instilled a great curiosity in Tim as to what distinguishes elite performers from average performers. A question he’s pursued answering ever since that moment. The answer for Tim was curated through observing and documenting the mindset and behavior patterns of elite performers. What was discovered was that elite performers think and behave differently because they’ve adopted a system. In our interview, which first aired in September 2020, we cover a lot of Tim’s incredible material, including how leaders create culture, how to recognize a leader, his famous equaltion E+R=O, and a discussion about the leadership crisis the world is facing right now. You can find Tim on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and at his website. Also, check out Above the Line: Lessons in Leadership and Life from a Championship Program by Urban Meyer.
