By Matthew Stone<\/h6>\n

A quick congrats to our friends at the Los Angeles Rams, and in particular friend of Leaders and their General Manager Les Snead, who triumphed at Super Bowl LVI last week. Les was part of our event in Santa Monica back in 2016 and shared his thoughts on leading in the Golden State, which you can listen back to here in podcast form.<\/a><\/p>\n

For now, here\u2019s another compilation of news, insights and stories from across high performance. Grab your brew, take a pew and enjoy the view!<\/p>\n
