"We're pleased to be joined by Dr. Brian C. Price, executive director of The Buccino Leadership Institute at Seton Hall University. Good to see you. Thank you Steve, thank you for having me. Both of us are students of think about leadership. I don't know about you, but I make mistakes all the time, which is the way I learned most of the time, comes leadership. Why are you so fascinated by leadership? Well I think I've tried to be a leader in my entire life. It started out in the sports arena, and then in... Talk about that, the sports side.
