4 | John Buchanan, Lessons on Leadership

My guest today is John Buchanan. John is a former coach of the Australian national cricket team, where he helped lead them to three world cup victories, a world record 16 consecutive test match victories, and is in my opinion, easily one of cricket's greatest ever coaches. I was a cricket tragic growing up, so John was the bee's knees being able to lead one of Australia's greatest ever cricket teams. In this conversation, we cover leadership, differences between sporting and corporate teams, and getting people to buy into your message.

I hope you enjoy my conversation with John Buchanan.
