Washington Commanders Head Coach Ron Rivera with Gary Heil | Leadership Lessons From The Fastlane

Head Coach of the Washington Commanders Ron Rivera joins Leadership Lessons from the Fast Lane host Gary Heil - co-author of “Choose Love Not Fear,” and founder of the Center for Innovative Leadership - to discuss leadership as a reflection of who we are, life experiences, and more.
An accomplished football coach and retired player, Ron Rivera is a passionate and skilled leader. His inspirational message challenges listeners to rise to the occasion to overcome any obstacles that they may face. In this episode, Rivera and Heil dive into critical topics ranging from the difference between a dream and a vision, what cultural transformation truly looks like in any arena, and why leaders must be passionate (along with critical lessons he learned from John Madden and Mike Ditka).
A few key takeaways from the episode include:
1. Learning to adapt and grow through challenges at the start of your career will improve your future leadership style.
2. In order to get group buy-in on your vision as a leader, you need to get to know each and every one of your team members on an individual level.
3. It is important to surround yourself with the right people if you want to be successful.
4. As a leader, you must decide to be all-in or all-out. You can not commit halfway.
5. Good communication is more about listening and understanding than it is about talking.
