00:00:02.068 --> 00:00:03.436
I just wanted to welcome you all

00:00:03.436 --> 00:00:05.588
today to take the field in an

00:00:05.588 --> 00:00:06.873
absolutely incredible first day

00:00:06.873 --> 00:00:08.408
yesterday for club employees and

00:00:08.408 --> 00:00:10.060
it was really filled with all of

00:00:10.060 --> 00:00:11.277
you saw collaboration

00:00:11.277 --> 00:00:13.029
discussions on leadership really

00:00:13.029 --> 00:00:14.314
candid conversations about

00:00:14.314 --> 00:00:15.281
challenges in the world of

00:00:15.281 --> 00:00:16.616
baseball and tools and skills

00:00:16.616 --> 00:00:17.667
that you all use to overcome

00:00:17.667 --> 00:00:18.084
these challenges.

00:00:18.818 --> 00:00:20.053
When I think about yesterday's

00:00:20.053 --> 00:00:21.438
kickoff session around

00:00:21.438 --> 00:00:23.306
leadership and what good

00:00:23.306 --> 00:00:25.175
leadership looks like I was

00:00:25.175 --> 00:00:27.610
thinking about the fact that

00:00:27.610 --> 00:00:28.912
everything you all said in the

00:00:28.912 --> 00:00:31.114
comments around leaders being

00:00:31.114 --> 00:00:34.250
truthful honest being empathetic

00:00:34.250 --> 00:00:36.019
being trustworthy etc..

00:00:36.786 --> 00:00:38.588
Getting your arms around bias as

00:00:38.588 --> 00:00:40.957
a leader being able to spot it

00:00:40.957 --> 00:00:43.910
and interrupt it is critical to

00:00:43.910 --> 00:00:45.245
doing all of those things that

00:00:45.245 --> 00:00:47.047
need to be done to show up as a

00:00:47.047 --> 00:00:47.147
leader.

00:00:47.847 --> 00:00:49.599
We've looked at the power of

00:00:49.599 --> 00:00:51.301
having honest conversations and

00:00:51.301 --> 00:00:53.169
certain approaches that we might

00:00:53.169 --> 00:00:54.754
be overplaying and that's the

00:00:54.754 --> 00:00:56.706
sweet spot is to always be

00:00:56.706 --> 00:00:59.642
direct and honest always to

00:00:59.642 --> 00:01:01.211
challenge and always to do it in

00:01:01.211 --> 00:01:03.163
a caring and a kind way and to

00:01:03.163 --> 00:01:04.280
give yourself permission to do

00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:04.614
that.

00:01:05.315 --> 00:01:06.399
And then we've set some key

00:01:06.399 --> 00:01:08.351
skills around host to do that

00:01:08.351 --> 00:01:11.037
but for questioning listening

00:01:11.037 --> 00:01:13.173
confidently asserting your point

00:01:13.173 --> 00:01:14.591
of view using logical

00:01:14.591 --> 00:01:15.208
persuasion.

00:01:15.942 --> 00:01:17.210
I think there are times where

00:01:17.210 --> 00:01:18.461
all of us are going to have

00:01:18.461 --> 00:01:20.363
conversations that are so

00:01:20.363 --> 00:01:21.448
uncomfortable to have to be

00:01:21.448 --> 00:01:22.916
objective point out people's

00:01:22.916 --> 00:01:23.950
behavior and.

00:01:24.250 --> 00:01:25.368
And.

00:01:26.002 --> 00:01:27.270
Because I think I think

00:01:27.270 --> 00:01:31.724
sometimes we get dismissed.

00:01:32.325 --> 00:01:33.877
And and it's not fair.

00:01:34.644 --> 00:01:35.612
But if we're going to be in this

00:01:35.612 --> 00:01:37.747
world and it's it traditionally

00:01:37.747 --> 00:01:39.632
has been a male dominated world

00:01:39.632 --> 00:01:42.252
that this is what we're going to

00:01:42.252 --> 00:01:42.519
have to deal with.
