What trust leaders can learn from premier league football managers - Managing a team, navigating change & finding your purpose
In this episode, we chat with Phil Denton, former headteacher, leadership coach, and author of The First 100 Days: Lessons In Leadership From The Football Bosses, for an engaging discussion on leadership and the fascinating parallels between education and football management.
Phil shares the story of how his chance meeting with former Tranmere Rovers and Dundee United manager Micky Mellon sparked the idea for his book. What began as a casual conversation between a school headteacher and a football manager soon turned into a collaborative journey of exploration. Together, they met with top football managers, consulted experts, and explored the psychological, sociological, and philosophical principles behind effective leadership.
Phil reflects on his own experience as a new headteacher in Liverpool, comparing the lessons he learned to those shared by some of the Premier League’s top managers, including David Moyes, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and Pep Guardiola. He emphasises the importance of discovering your personal leadership purpose and offers actionable advice on how to achieve and sustain success.
