Leadership Has a Lineage

At Success Via Sports, we believe the greatest lessons in leadership aren’t found in textbooks — they’re found in the people who show up for us. Phil Edwards, Leadership Educator and creator of the CARE Leadership Framework, captures this beautifully in his latest piece for Brainz Magazine. In it, Phil reflects on seven extraordinary mentors who shaped not just how he leads, but who he is.

Behind every great leader is a team of people who believed in them before they believed in themselves. From a childhood teacher who put him on a stage to a basketball coach who opened his home, Phil honours each mentor who passed the baton to him — every one teaching a different dimension of leadership: character, service, vision, accountability, belief, strategy, and culture. Sound familiar? It should — it’s the same stuff that shapes great athletes.

This is a deeply human story about the power of mentorship. We think you’ll love it.
