In this episode of The Manager's Mic, I sit down with Mike Durnin, DMin, a leadership expert and former football coach, to uncover the secrets of leadership. Together, we break down his unique "Handful of L's" framework and the "1 and 0" concept to help navigate leadership development without losing an identity. We also discuss the Chris Norton Foundation, which emerged from a tragic moment during an American football game. Although the Chris Norton story teaches us the importance of injury prevention whether in a game or during athletic training, we also learn that a tragedy from sports or another experience does not define our potential.
