Our great coach on this episode is Mike Cron.
Mike Cron was a coach with the New Zealand All Blacks for 2017 Games. This includes a stretch where they won 2 Rugby World Cups. He was also part of the team that led the NZ Women’s team to the world cup in 2022. In addition he has worked with the Welsh and Japanese teams and is presently coaching the Australian Wallabies alongside Joe Scmidt.
1. Where am I being “firm” when I actually need to adapt—and what feedback would I need to hear (and accept) to make that change?
2. When I lead or coach, do I rely more on a script or on observation—and what would improve if I became more comfortable with silence and listening?
3. In my team (or work group), where might social loafing be showing up subtly, and what specific commitment can I make so that “it will not be me”?
