In this episode, Brian Gubernick discusses how to become a better leader and how to identify leaders in your organization.   In Sam Walker's book, The Captain Class, through analyzing and studying sports teams, Walker discovered that the individual that you would typically suspect to be the team's captain was not always the captain of the team. Rather, the leadership qualities that the captains displayed were different from what society might believe to be 'captain-like qualities'.   Brian walks through a few of the lessons that he learned from this book and shares some stories about influential leaders who led their teams to victories.   Today's focusing questions: Are you naming the right leaders in your organization? Are you empowering the right people to step up to become leaders within your organization? If you are a leader, are you displaying these qualities?   *ENTER OUR GIVEAWAY* To enter: Leave us a review wherever you listen to the No Days Off podcast.
