330: Leadership Lessons from Hockey’s Greatest Coaches with Craig Custance


My guest today is someone you might call a very patient man. Patience, after all, is a virtue, and one he has in spades.



I’m talking about NHL writer Craig Custance who first reached out to me over two years ago, around the time his book was being released.







Well, I finally got around to inviting him on to Read to Lead to talk about that very book. It’s called Behind the Bench: Inside the Minds of Hockey’s Greatest Coaches.



He spent a number of months interviewing some of the hockey world’s brightest minds about things like leadership, getting outside your comfort zone, conflict, passion, humility, and more.



He learned a ton in the process and so did I and everyone else who’s read his book. Now, it’s your turn.
