Ted Lasso and Teaming

How did Ted Lasso transform his team?  I shared the five-step process with Marnie Stockam and Nick Coniglio, authors of the engaging and thoughtful book Lead It Like Lasso. (Even if you have not seen the TV series, you will love the book.)

We explored five drivers to transform an organization, including:

1) How to align vision with execution to foster organizational health, growth, and achievement. Ted Lasso’s leadership shines because he builds a clear and inspiring vision for his team.

2) How to build the human side of change, which is crucial for any leader. Ted addresses the team’s emotions and creates an engaging culture.

3) How leadership skills expand to prevent potential derailments. Ted consistently learns both the game of soccer and how to execute. 

4) How to allocate resources to prevent minor issues from growing into an obstruction. Ted combines both an operational and tactical perspective to prevent minor issues from escalating.

5) How to craft plans that capture opportunities. Ted leverages stakeholders, staff, and the media to gain and maintain support.
