“Make sure you’re the best at all the things that require no talent.”
With the Six Nations around the corner, Sam is joined by one of his rugby idols – former Ireland and British & Irish Lions captain – Paul O’Connell.
Paul explains that leadership is about how you make people feel and shares how to create an atmosphere where teams can flourish and why, as a leader, you must have a commitment to excellence.
The pair also swap stories of their experiences of captaining the Lions; with memories of team-bonding, 1997 tour DVDs and Dioralyte.
