Sam Walker, Author of "Captain Class" A great leader is not what you think?! (Student-Athlete Event)

Michigan Alumni Sam Walker will be visiting our university to talk about his book "The Captain Class." CNBC, The New York Times, Amazon, Sport Illustrated and others described "The Captian Class" as "one ofthe year's best business books."

A GREAT LEADER IS NOT WHAT YOU THINK
Most people believe that leadership is a God-given skill bestowed on thefew; a combination of raw talent, playmaking ability, charisma, dominance, and emotional extroversion that stands out in a crowd. So when we become leaders, we rely on what we’ve seen in the movies. We take the clutch shots, show more emotion, bark out orders, stamp out dissent in the locker room, and practice speeches in the mirror. Sam Walker’s research shows none of those things are required. Sometimes the best leader on ateam isn’t obvious to the outside world. In fact, it might be the lastperson you’d expect.

If you attend this event, you will receive a free copy of "The Captain Class" and gain insight of the 7 researched doable behaviors needed to influence others.
