HIGHLIGHTS


Behind the scenes of Netflix’s 'Last Chance University' 

Why great leaders are great coaches 

Ditch the playbook and meet your team where they are

Speech is silver, silence is golden

To lead people is to carry their burden for them 

Rules without relationship equals rebellion



QUOTES


Kaplan: "We believe great leaders are great
coaches, and they have the ability to meet kids wherever they're
at and understand their story." 


Mosley: "In leadership, you direct behavior. In
order to direct behavior in leadership, I think you have to have
that personal relationship. And when you go down and you have
those personal relationships and you live out, I think it's
important to live out the burdens with these young men. That's
what I'm called to do." 


Mosley: "Whenever I see a young man or anybody
who didn't want to listen to me, even little kids. It works on
little babies. You think of a five-year old and you say, hey, sit
down and do this. It won't sit down. You take a five-year-old and
before you tell him to sit down, you say, hey, you like this
color? What's your favorite color? What do you like to eat? And
then you tell the five-year-old, hey, have a seat here. Guess
what, they're gonna go sit down." 


Kaplan: "Do not confuse the coach's kindness
with weakness."
