In November 2020, the Denver Broncos showed up to play the Saints with no quarterback. Their first string had COVID. So did the second, third, and fourth string. They started a wide receiver. They lost 31 to 3.

That game is why you need to care about how you lead.

There are two leadership mindsets, the quarterback and the coach. The quarterback is in the mayhem, calling plays by the second. The coach is on the sidelines, thinking about the season. Most leaders never make the transition from one to the other, and most companies pay for it.

In this episode, I break down the 6 steps that move you from quarterback to coach, why 29 people is the magic number where the switch becomes urgent, and how the best leaders know when to play each role.

🎧 Press play. Pick up the ball, or hand it off?
