Let’s Talk About Leadership in the Workplace – Work in Sports Podcast - a podcast by Brian Clapp - Work in Sports

Most people who think they are leaders in the workplace are doing it all wrong. In today's podcast, we're going to break down four important traits of real leaders! (Psst, anyone can be a leader, not just senior executives)Hey, it’s Brian before we get into today’s QA session on leadership - a topic I am very excited about, we want to welcome NYU to the Work in Sports family! The NYU School of Professional Studies Preston Robert Tisch Institute for Global Sport announces the NEW MS in Global Sport, a 36-credit, 16-month master’s degree. The increase in global events and sports development in countries like China, Brazil, and India, the growth of soccer and rugby in the US,  the expansion of US sports globally like basketball and baseball -- these are the events changing the landscape of sports. The sports industry is more global than ever, and NYU recognizes that fact with their new Masters in Global Sport.I’ll be honest - looking back I really wish I had done some international study - I’m fascinated by different approaches and techniques in accomplishing goals, and this program will introduce you to so much of that. Designed for busy professionals from around the world, the program is predominantly online and includes four one-week residencies—two in New York City and one each in Tokyo and Madrid. Ooh, Madrid is on my short list of places I really want to go -  wonder if they are hiring any adjunct professors. I should probably wonder that in my head rather than on the ad. Gain a comprehensive knowledge of sports business on a global scale.Learn more and Apply TODAY at S-P-S dot N-Y-U dot E-D-U slash Global Sport 1Thanks, NYU -- Now, let’s start the countdownHi, everybody, I’m Brian Clapp, Director of Content for WorkinSports.com and this is the Work in Sports podcast…I spent the last few days in New Orleans, Louisiana at the NASSM conference - that’s the North American Society for Sports Management conference, lots of sports management professors from around the globe sharing their research and having little breakout sessions to discuss their findings and open themselves up to questions from their peers. Some really cool stuff - and it was great meeting Kevin Cattani from the University of Dubuque, Karen Boleska from Husson, Sam Todd from the University of South Carolina, who we partnered with on some research into sports job seeker mentality,  and a bunch of other professors I had the pleasure of meeting.I was there in part to pitch our new online course focusing on the strategies and tactics of getting hired in the sports industry. And I have to say I’m pretty proud, all of the professors pretty much said ‘this is exactly what we need’You see professors and deans recognize that they are experts in their specific section of the sports industry -- maybe it’s finance, HR, public relations, event management - but they don’t really spend enough time talking about how to get a job once you graduate, and the strategies you need to employ to get hired.That’s what our course teaches. In fact, many colleges are going to start using our course as part of their curriculum moving forward - because we focus on actionable advice in the four pillars of getting hired:* Gaining the right experience* Building and maintaining your network* Mastering your resume cover letter and personal brand* And Interviewing for jobs and internshipsThis is the stuff no one teaches you-- but is so important!Now, if your school is going to use our course - awesome you are in luck! If not, you individual person dedicated to your craft of working in the sports industry - can buy it direct on our site starting soon. Or -- tell your professors to contact me bclapp@workinsports.com - and I can do a demo with them. If the school signs up you get a highly discounted group rate!
