We live in an increasing age of data, noise we have to dampen, and a level of intense scrutiny on the public stage. Our guest today is the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons, Dan Quinn. He has worked with coaches like Nick Saban and Pete Carroll and brings an extra-ordinarily insightful map about thriving in the decade forward. There is maybe no more of an intense public stage than the NFL. A season that is the smallest in major professional sports (other than the IPL cricket league). It is watched by millions of Americans with rampant passion from late August to the Super Bowl and beyond.
Coach Dan Quinn And Player
It takes a very special DNA to thrive in a world like this, as players and coaches. Like the world we are about to fully enter with huge volumes of data, intense pressure to live and perform in the moment the key to success in the NFL may also help us in the new world ahead. Dan’s vision and ideas about what it is going to take to thrive in this high intensity world sounds simple. It’s the relationships between the players and the coaches. However, making it happen on every level, on and off the field serve as great examples of what great looks like, feels like and can be achieved.
Listen to Dan as he talks through a range of questions’ I put to him about player / coach situations and how he handles it using this mantra. Listen to Dan’s ideas and practices and apply them on your pathway as a manager and leader. Managing in the moment is a vital component of building success because as all the research we have done shows that the idea that we live in a world of constant change is accepted by 95% of all corporate leaders, but only 28% of corporate leaders have embraced what it takes to thrive with constant change as an engine for success for them.
