This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. John U. Bacon energizes his audience with the story of the Ann Arbor Huron High School hockey team. Drawing upon his experience as the team's coach, he shares examples of leadership, discipline, and accomplishment among members of a team that went from worst to first.
In his fast-moving presentations, John U. Bacon, a New York Times Bestselling author, and an award-winning university teacher and public speaker, gives you lessons from Bo Schembechler to Colin Powell to Cirque du Soleil on handling personnel problems, from character to fear to hiring and firing -- and a few things in between! John U. Bacon is the author of six books on sports, business, and leadership, three of them national bestsellers, including "Bo's Lasting Lessons: The Legendary Coach Teaches the Timeless Fundamentals of Leadership," "Three and Out: Rich Rodriguez and the Michigan Wolverines in the Crucible of College Football," and "Fourth and Long: The Fight for the Soul of College Football."
About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
