Ep. 27: Ted Lasso is flawed. And that's why we love him! And it's why we can learn from him.

Even if you've never seen the show, Ted Lasso, this episode is still relatable to anyone interested in leadership or building culture in the workplace.

Brian and Kasey both love Ted Lasso, but not because he is perfect. In fact, he is far from it! In this episode, Brian and Kasey acknowledge the faults and weaknesses of Ted, draw out their impacts on building culture, and highlight his many gifts and talents as a leader.

Favorite Ted Quotes:

"If you care about someone, and you got a little love in your heart, there ain't nothing we can't get through together."

"If that's a joke, I love it. If not, I can't wait to unpack that with you."

"Be curious, not judgmental."

"I promise you there is something worse out there than being sad, and that's being alone and being sad. Ain't nobody in this room alone."

Culture Takeaways:

Culture does not end with relationships. It starts with relationships, but it does not end there. Culture is what happens when the leader leaves the room. It's what happens when we are not in the building.

Norms are what happens when leaders are in the building.

Culture is what happens when leaders are out of the building.

Belief alone isn't enough. Work has to be done.
