Special: 2024 Diamond Dog Draft

Lens of Leadership: A Ted Lasso Rewatch Podcast

Wouldn’t it be amazing if the Ted Lasso characters made up your personal advisory board? Join Marnie Stockman and Nick Coniglio as they release this bonus episode of Lens of Leadership. They are strategizing the perfect lineup of characters to form their “Diamond Dogs". They talk through how to ensure they surround themselves with a mix of mentors, connectors, wellness coaches, and more. It's a battle of wits and budget as they go head-to-head with ChatGPT, all while contemplating the profound question: if we truly are the average of the five people closest to us, who would make the cut?

This isn't your average team assembly; it's a masterclass in balancing qualities like optimism, leadership, PR savvy, and objectivity within a tight budget. They weigh the merits of picking Ted Lasso as a team lynchpin against the potential of characters like Keeley Jones and Trent Crimm. The episode morphs into an engaging discussion, teeming with fandom and humor, as they select team members who not only round out their Diamond Dogs but would also make Ted proud. From Dani Rojas' infectious enthusiasm to May's business acumen, each choice is deliberated with the aim of crafting a diverse and dynamic support system.

At the end of the draft, they analyze how the unique characteristics of their board of "Ted Lasso" personalities would serve in the roles of mentor, connector, peer, wellness advocate, and confidant. You are encouraged to give Marnie and Nick feedback on their draft picks. How will they fare with their new Diamond Dogs?
