The Podcast
Let Them Lead is a podcast about the risks and rewards of leading today.
I’m John Bacon, author of the book, LET THEM LEAD: Unexpected Lessons in Leadership from America’s Worst High School Hockey Team, which led to this podcast.
On Let Them Lead we talk to remarkable leaders from every field imaginable –automotive, computers, food service, education, and athletics, to name a few – and they share their hard-won wisdom, amazing stories, and a few laughs. You’ll learn a few things you can use tomorrow, and others you can think about the rest of your life. We always finish with three take-aways, and a discussion of their favorite teacher.
In the words of my fifth grade teacher, Mr. Pudduck, it’s fast, fun, and we get it done.
So please join us for an entertaining and inspiring discussion. You’ll be glad you did.
