Elite Athlete to Top Executive: Interview with Luc Robitaille

Episode #133 // INTERVIEW

After 130-odd episodes of me giving my two-cents worth on all things leadership, we’re starting to introduce the occasional interview with a leader who has really made a difference in the world.

In this episode, I interview Luc Robitaille, President of the Los Angeles Kings National Hockey League franchise. After a 20-year career as an elite athlete in one of the toughest sporting arenas on the planet, Luc made the successful transition to corporate executive ranks.

We all face difficulty when we transition to an unfamiliar role, especially when moving from a technical role to a leadership role. Luc goes into the nitty-gritty of how he did this: the challenges and the triumphs.

There's a lot of talk in business about the concept of world class performance, and today, we'll give you some insight into what that actually means!

You don't want to skip over this episode, Luc drops gem after gem that you can apply as a leader in any industry!

Your boss wants more with less. Your team wants less, full stop. You're stuck in the middle.
