Description

Today’s guest is Seth Waugh, CEO of the PGA of America.
Seth Waugh’s background is actually in finance – most recently, as the CEO of Deutsche Bank.  That’s obviously impressive, but what really sets him apart is his unique ability to relate to people at every level of an organization. 
And that’s exactly what he did when took over as CEO of the PGA of America. He listened, he learned, and he gave his team members a chance to show their character. 
Along the way, he uncovered some tough issues. But he also was able to see for himself how to address them. Now he and his team are really digging into their big mission, which is to grow the game of golf and make it more inclusive and accessible. 
Great leaders “get their uniform dirty,” as Seth says, by spending time with all levels of their organization. Seth is a master at this, and you’re gonna be so inspired by this conversation.
You’ll also learn:

Specific things you need to do in the first six months of any new leadership role

What you can do to rebuild trust and communication in an organization 

How Seth sees the game of golf evolving for the future 

The tough-but-fair policy that Seth uses to hire and develop team members

A key caution leaders need to be mindful of as work becomes increasingly virtual
