Lessons from the LA Lakers Lack of Leadership

February 22, 2013

Glenn Llopis, featured presenter in Linkage’s Thought Leader Series recently used the LA Lakers dismal record to show the damage that bad leadership can cause.

Whether you are a Lakers fan or not, observe their recent catastrophic collapse and you will see lessons in leadership, team management, and how the best laid plans can backfire.”
