Intentional Performers With Brian Levenson

Michael Lombardi is a former NFL General Manager, a 3X Super Bowl Champion, and somebody who thinks deeply about leadership. He has a daily newsletter with George Raveling called The Daily Coach which aims to be inspiration for people around leadership. Michael is also the author of Gridiron Genius. Michael has been in the trenches with some of the best coaches of all time, specifically Bill Walsh and Bill Belichick. He also spent a lot of his career with Al Davis and the Oakland Raiders. This conversation really gets into culture and leadership, which is really what his book is about as well. More than anything, Michael cares about making people better.   Michael had a number of amazing insights during our conversation. Some of them include: “When you have to tell people to call you something and you don’t earn it, then there’s something wrong with the way you’re working” (7:00). “Actions speak louder than titles” (7:10). “The respect you get is the respect you earn based on your level of commitment” (7:20).
