When Ted Lasso was hired as the new gaffer (coach) for AFC Richmond, the team, the town, and the entire country made it no secret that they thought he was just a clueless "wanker." But it was clear, even early on, that Ted knew a thing or two about being a good leader. It's not about the wins and losses, but about helping others become the best versions of themselves.
Much like Ted Lasso the show, Lead it Like Lasso takes a fresh approach to leadership. The foreword alone will shock you. The lessons outlined are not just for business leaders. Rule #1 - "Leadership is Life!" These tools can be applied in the board room, the locker room, and the living room.
You might want to have a pencil (or your own whiteboard) on hand to work through the activities:
* Define your core values and learn how culture impacts your ability to level up
* Create a clear vision and purpose for your life to reach your goals
* Build your own personal operating system and communication guide
* Adopt effective communication strategies to grow your network
* Envision your legacy and outline a plan to make it happen
This is not your grandmother's leadership book. Heck, it isn't even Ted Lasso's grandmother's leadership book. This book feels like having your own personal Ted Lasso - breaking down leadership lessons in a way that will make you smile, inspiring action you can take right away.
The authors offer leadership lessons from their own successful startup, the lives of the team at AFC Richmond, and top leaders of industry. Level up and lead your life like Lasso. Believe.
