Leadership is Earned – A Sports Analogy
After Urban Meyer was fired as the head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars, Sally Jenkins wrote an article on how leadership is earned, not demanded. In the article, Ms. Jenkins identifies that winning leaders consultant with their team to make decisions, not enforce decisions. While this is not a direct asset management issue, it is a very good reminder about effective leadership.
