Чему меня научил хоккей о лидерстве, веселье и жизни | Jerry Bates | TEDxRiverfield Country Day School

Джерри Бейтс, руководитель школы Riverfield Country Day School в Талсе, штат Оклахома, рассказывает, как уроки, полученные на льду, формируют его подход к лидерству и жизни. Он утверждает, что стремление к совершенству не обязательно идёт в ущерб радости, а важные уроки часто приходят тогда, когда человек получает удовольствие. У Бейтса более 35 лет опыта в независимых школах, высшем образовании и консалтинге. Выступление было дано на независимо организованном мероприятии TEDx.

• Уроки хоккея применимы к лидерству и повседневной жизни
• Совершенство и радость могут сосуществовать
• Учиться часто удаётся в процессе веселья
