#203: Jimmy Haslam, Chairman and Managing Partner of Haslam Sports Group – Assess yourself honestly

How Leaders Lead with David Novak

If you want to fix anything—your team, your culture, your results—it starts by having the strength to admit what you need to improve.

Too many leaders try to spin their missteps or sweep them under the rug entirely.

But not today’s guest. Jimmy Haslam is the owner of the Cleveland Browns and the former CEO of Pilot Flying J truck stops.

If you’ve ever wanted to know what it’s like to own an NFL team, then buckle up, because Jimmy really knows how to make you feel like you’re right in the room for all the big decisions and pressure-packed moments.

But he also knows how to acknowledge moments when he could have done better and then share what he learned. Listen and see just the transformations that are possible when you have the ability to assess yourself honestly.

You’ll also learn:

• One of the most influential decisions a leader can make
• Why job interviews may not be as important as you think
• What it’s like working with the man who inspired Jonah Hill’s character in Moneyball
• The #1 thing to do if you want to build a more positive work environment
