Lens of Leadership: A Ted Lasso Rewatch Podcast

In Season 1, Episode 5 of Ted Lasso, Tan Lines, it is not just the team that is broken. Change needs to happen. Ted says in his half-time speech, change isn’t easy but they need to embrace it. Marnie and Nick talk through elements of change from a leadership perspective on this episode of Lens of Leadership. Overcoming challenges requires a flexible mindset and some bravery, but the opportunities for growth, connection and learning come with it.

We reflect on how embracing change is not just about adapting, but about being a catalyst for innovation and inspiration as a leader. We relate it back to the 'Ted Lasso' universe, emphasizing the importance of positivity and endurance, even when the game plan changes. Ted might say - think of it as constructing your success story one 'Lego' at a time — a mindset that helps in piecing together resilience and positivity in both leadership and life. Tune in and join the conversation to understand how change, though daunting, can be the very thing that propels us forward.
