Description
The 2023-2024 NFL season kicks off tonight! And behind all the big plays and personalities, there are a LOT of leadership lessons to learn.
Starting with today’s guest, Brandon Beane, who’s the General Manager of the Buffalo Bills.
His job is to head up all the operations, including trades, drafts, contract negotiation, salary cap management, and – of course – collaborating with the coaches on the roster.
THAT is a LOT of things to be good at!
And when you hear this conversation with Brandon, you’ll see it doesn’t just happen. He’s very intentional about the way he builds his know-how in all these areas. He’s got the humility to spot what he doesn’t know. And he’s got the confidence to go out and learn it.
To grow as a leader and build the career you want, you’ve got to understand where the gaps are in your knowledge and be willing to fill them.
Listen to this conversation to see how it’s done! You’ll also learn:
Tips for a successful collaborative relationship
One key piece of wisdom to help you communicate big “shock-the-system” changes
What it’s like behind the scenes of the NFL draft (including the year they got Josh Allen)
Practical advice for personnel decisions—even when it means making tough cuts
How to recover from a big loss
The powerful leadership lessons from Damar Hamlin’s life-and-death situation last season
