Listen "The Leadership Style of Football Legend Deion Sanders"
Episode Synopsis
In 2022, Deion Sanders, known as “Coach Prime,” was hired as head coach of the University of Colorado football team, which had only one winning season in the previous 15 years. Many observers were excited to have the two-time Super Bowl champion as CU’s new head coach. But some questioned whether Sanders had the experience needed to turn around a team in a highly competitive athletic conference. Others wondered whether his “old school” leadership style would be effective with today’s student-athletes. Still others doubted whether his approach would be sustainable. In this conversation with host Brian Kenny, Harvard Business School Senior Lecturer Hise Gibson discusses Sanders’ leadership style and effectiveness exhibited in the case study “Deion Sanders: The Prime Effect.”
