He was once a little green ball of clay…if you’re too young to recognize that line that’s ok. In fact when I was a kid, Gumby was an old show and we watched reruns of it and it still looked outdated. Gumby was a green character formed out of clay that had adventures with other friends. The reason I bring Gumby up in this episode is because it has leadership implications for you and me.

In this episode you’ll learn the following:

  • What golf and Gumby have in common
  • The balance between listening and overriding
  • The difference between vision and buy-in
  • The leadership model Gumby really exemplifies
