Winning isn’t the hardest part of leadership, staying human while you do it is.

In this episode of The Few Leaders: Speaker Series, I sit down with veteran basketball coach and leadership speaker Mark Gottfried to explore the balance between high performance and human values. Drawing from decades at the top of college basketball and beyond, Mark reveals why resilience, integrity and connection matter just as much as results.

From transforming good teams into championship ones to motivating top performers, navigating the loneliness of leadership and turning failure into growth, Mark shares candid lessons every leader can apply. This is a powerful conversation on achieving success without losing yourself along the way.
