Episode description
The world of pro sports may look a lot more exciting than life in the office but in reality -- when you strip away the glamour and media attention -- the bottom line for success is not too different on the playing field than it is in the business world. Character is what counts the most whether you are scouting for a new quarterback in the NFL draft or hiring a young commodities trader. That was the message from top sports executives who participated in a 2007 Wharton Economic Summit panel called ”Leadership Lessons Learned from Sports ” sponsored by the Wharton Sports Business Initiative.
