Listen "How Do You Assemble a Winning Team?"
Episode Synopsis
What if talent isn’t enough to win? And what if entrepreneurial leadership is the key—by asking, how can we align individual strengths to create a team that truly performs together? In this episode, Babson College hockey coach Jamie Rice '90 fosters a culture of ownership that mirrors the entrepreneurial mindset. Hockey offers a unique lens on entrepreneurial leadership, showing that success comes not only from preparation and skill, but also from the ability to read shifting dynamics and empower individuals in real time. Rice's approach transforms both student-athletes and leaders, showing that great teams, like great ventures, are built on people who trust, learn, and grow together. Ultimately, Rice challenges the idea that leadership belongs only to star players or those with titles. Role players, bench leaders, and unsung contributors can have as much influence on outcomes as captains or CEOs. By recognizing and empowering these voices, entrepreneurial leaders- whether on the rink, in the classroom, or in the boardroom- can build winning teams that thrive under pressure, adapt to change, and achieve more than the sum of their parts.SHOW NOTESJamie's Bio: https://babsonathletics.com/sports/mens-ice-hockey/roster/coaches/jamie-rice-90/529From Babson Magazine: ‘More than Hockey’: Jake Thibeault and the Power of Brotherly BondsFrom Babson Thought & Action: A Head Coach, a Backup Goalie, and the Inspiring Story of a Gift
