56: Nick Maxwell – Leadership

MartinWhatPod 66 Views

Nick Maxwell knows a thing or two about leadership. A highly respected leader who played 208 games at the Collingwood Football Club, he was appointed Captain in 2008, and led the club to their 15th Premiership in 2010.

Following his illustrious 208 game AFL career, Maxy transitioned into various leadership roles at the GWS Giants, rugby league club Melbourne Storm, and the Melbourne Stars in the Big Bash League. Nick has not just lived a leadership role but contributed to some of our countries most successful sporting organisations as a leadership advisor.

But by his own admission, the science and art of leadership is one Maxy had to work for, learn, and develop throughout his career, which is one of the things that makes this conversation so compelling. The insights Nick provides are born from the trenches of leading and advising high performance coaches, athletes and teams.

In our conversation Maxy shares his leadership philosophy, how to build high performing teams and cultures, the role that struggle plays in success, how to balance learning and performing, frameworks he found useful for motivating people and performance… and so much more.

This conversation is about leadership from a man who has lived the role throughout his personal and professional life. I hope you enjoy the valuable insights in this conversation with Nick Maxwell.
