Every team hits a rough stretch. It might be a losing streak, a setback no one saw coming, or a season that doesn't go to plan. And when things get hard, the foundation you've built is what holds a team together.
Dan Quinn knows a thing or two about building great teams. He led the Atlanta Falcons to a Super Bowl appearance and took the Washington Commanders to the NFC Championship game in his first season. But some of his biggest growth as a leader came after Atlanta, when he asked close to 50 former players and staff members for a "blind spot report" on how he leads.
In this conversation, Dan shares why consistency is the key to building trust and how he develops leaders at every level of his team. He also talks about the lessons he took from Pete Carroll and Nick Saban, and how he helps players love the grind by showing them their progress.
If you want to build a team that brings out the best in each other, this conversation is full of ideas you can put to work right away.
