I believe leadership and the game of golf share many principles. Most may be obvious but one in particular has not been talked about enough. Some golf players don't care much about the game itself so they casually engage with the sport. They are commonly referred to as “hackers.” This often leads to frustration for the other players, reflects poorly on the sport and its fans, and generally leaves a bad impression. Similarly, leaders who are careless, aloof, and disregard the accepted principles of leadership can leave a negative impression on the role of leadership. This podcast is committed to elevating the currency of leadership, so today Dr. McKinley addresses this topic head on by expressing that hacking at leadership is not good for the “sport.” To Order Doug's Books: The Resiliency Quest, Mad About UsVisit Doug's Website: https://www.dougmckinley.com/Receive a Free Leadership Resource: Leadership Guide

Coaching with compliance is instructing someone to act the way a coach or their organization thinks that they should act.
