#0267 – Leadership Lessons from Ted Lasso with John Brubaker

Author: Jon S. Rennie December 9, 2023 Duration: 52:43
Today, I’m joined by a long-time friend of the show, John Brubaker, aka Coach Bru, and we're talking about the Leadership Lessons from Ted Lasso. Coach Bru is a former college lacrosse coach, keynote speaker, award-winning author, and executive coach known for his unique approach to performance enhancement. He’s the guy who helped me get the Deep Leadership podcast started, and he wrote the foreword to my first bestselling book, I Have the Watch. Coach Bru has a new book called The Lasso Way, where he unpacks leadership lessons from the world’s greatest fictional football coach, Ted Lasso. If you haven’t watched Ted Lasso on Apple TV yet, don’t worry; we’ll try to avoid too many spoilers in this discussion. I recommend that every leader watch this show, though, and get this book. I’m excited to talk to Coach Bru about the Leadership Lessons from Ted Lasso.

For anyone who’s ever felt that leadership advice can be too theoretical or disconnected from reality, Deep Leadership offers a grounded alternative. Host Jon S. Rennie operates from a simple, powerful belief: “Leadership is a People Business.” This isn’t about abstract concepts; it’s about the tangible, often messy work of guiding teams and organizations. Jon brings a unique perspective shaped by his time as a Cold War Submarine Officer and over two decades leading within Corporate America before founding his own manufacturing company. In each episode, he translates that extensive experience into practical, actionable insights you can apply immediately. The conversations here delve into the core of what makes leadership work-or fail-across business, culture, and society. You’ll hear from Jon and a variety of expert guests as they explore the philosophical and practical dimensions of guiding people, discussing everything from daily management challenges to broader cultural forces that shape how we work. This podcast is built on the conviction that leadership matters profoundly, and that getting it right requires depth, reflection, and a relentless focus on the human element. Tune in for thoughtful discussions that cut through the noise and get to the heart of leading well.
