What is Driven Benevolence? A leadership style that mints gold. Expert coach Sergio Lara-Bercial interviewed 17 of the worlds top gold medal winning coaches to find out their secret leadership lessons. This free webinar reveals the results.
We were delighted to work with the fantastic Sergio Lara-Bercial. Sergio is a former professional athlete and now one of the most respected youth coaches in Europe. This free webinar entitled Driven Benevolence – Leadership lessons from Olympic Serial Winning Coaches took place on Wednesday 18th October 2017.
Leadership lessons of Driven Benevolence
Coaching athletes and teams to Olympic gold once is a huge achievement. Being successful consistently over 20 or 30 years is the prerogative of a very small and select group of coaches. So, what does it take to win repeatedly at the top level of sport? To find out, Sergio interviewed 17 of these super-coaches (totalling over 150 gold medals between them) and their athletes. As it happens, above all the technical and tactical knowledge of the sport and the access to resources and technology, it turns out that their ruthless yet not heartless leadership style accounted for a lot of their success. We have called it Driven Benevolence.
