The #FireCanada movement can teach us something about leading through others and Mike Tomlin’s fatal flaw as a leader

September 22, 2007: “I’m a man! I’m 40!”

A great opportunity for the Sports Media to talk about Bias in a *productive way* on all of tomorrows shows. Who will be the first to do it?? @FirstTake @SpeakOnFS1 https://t.co/wTaccF8LTw

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

Hip-hop artist E-40 says racial bias was the reason behind him being kicked out of Golden 1 Center midway through the fourth quarter of Golden State-Sacramento on Saturday night and he is requesting the Kings to investigate. Full statement:

Joe Paterno’s leadership legacy is complicated. We can learn from both his highs and his lows. In Part 1 of 2, we explore the early years through his ‘86 Championship — when he was named SI Sportsman of Year. #leadership #weare https://t.co/Mvsx1OVJ82

When someone says “I have some feedback for you.” Learn to accept it like an All Pro: https://t.co/GfqDzEd1BK

Leadership Challenge: Don’t get stuck in your own echo chamber. Make sure you have representative voices at the table to understand all perspectives (especially from your 2 more important groups: employees and customers!!)

[Leadership Chalk Talk @LDChalkTalk]

Question: what modern businesses are successful without listening to their employees OR their customers? It appears the NFL is trying to be one of the only ones. A thread …

[ESPN @espn]

Roughing-the-passer penalties will be discussed by the NFL after two disputed calls in Week 5, a source told the Associated Press, though no changes to the rule are expected during the season. https://t.co/JUQ3UvLYFh

[Leadership Chalk Talk @LDChalkTalk]

So how do they fix this? Well, my first recommendation would be to listen to your employees and your customers. The competition committee consisted of owners and coaches. Why?? Why doesn’t it include players and fans. They are the employees and customers.

(3/3) And if you still want to hire them anyway, at least you know what their onboarding development plan should include. Like 2 hours a day of final 4:00 Madden Simulations for Mr. Hackett. @PostBroncos @johnelway @Broncos @DNVR_Broncos

[Leadership Chalk Talk @LDChalkTalk]

Tip Drill (1/3): It seems obvious, but many hiring managers screw it up — you need to hire based on what the person *will do* not based on what they *have done.* Why don’t NFL executives put candidates through game-decision simulations in the interview process? …

[DNVR Broncos @DNVR_Broncos]

Nathaniel Hackett was right there with you, Broncos Country.

[Leadership Chalk Talk @LDChalkTalk]

(2/3) If your interview process is based solely on “Tell me about a time when…” you might find out *after* the hire that your new employee has majors gaps in their abilities. Don’t forgot to sprinkle in some realistic scenarios and truly put the candidate to the test …

(3/3) He follows thru on what he said prior. Score 1 big trust point in the brains of all Giants players. Players that trust their coach, just like employees who trust their leader, work extra hard for them. Don’t wait for trust to “just happen” — build it! Great win @Giants

[Leadership Chalk Talk @LDChalkTalk]

Leadership Tip Drill (1/3): *TRUST*
The fundamental construct of trust is … “Did what I expect to happen, actually happen?” Do you trust your car to start? Your internet to work? The weather prediction? Your 🧠 basically “keeps score” = your trust https://t.co/W1iDja6QyS

[Leadership Chalk Talk @LDChalkTalk]

(2/3) As a leader, a great way to build trust is to tell someone what you plan to do … and then simply DO IT. @CoachDaboll builds trust with his team by telling them *before* the game — and also during the final drive — he’ll be aggressive. In a high stakes situation …

@MaryKayCabot Did a deep dive on all suspensions and the leadership lessons we can learn from Roger Goodell’s tenure as Commissh. Take a listen: https://t.co/zXPoizs9FF
