503 – Leaders Who Coach w/ Jamy Bechler
We live in a culture where buzzer beater player gets all the glory. Rarely is credit given to the players who set the stage for that shot to even take place. Not in the world of leadership coach, Jamy Bechler. He doesn’t believe in a system where the concept of “TEAM” is constantly referenced, but rarely acknowledged. This is where balance and cohesion are really developed.
