Whether it’s in sports or any other group activity, in order to achieve success, it’s important to first develop a strong culture.
Anaheim Ducks head coach Dallas Eakins leaves no stone unturned for finding ways to create a strong team culture in his dressing room. He’s spoken to people in other leagues, like the NBA, NFL, and MLB, as well as CEOs from successful companies, and even people in the military.
“They lead in different ways, they have different habits, and their cultures are different. It’s important looking everywhere,” said Eakins, who delivered a riveting presentation on creating team culture at the 2020 NHLCA Online Global Coaches’ Clinic.
