After games, in the locker rooms, the head coach of the Detroit Lions conducts master classes on leadership.


The little gift that the Metro Detroiters receive after every game has been one of the greatest aspects of this incredible season.

If you’re like us at Local 4, you’ll wait anywhere from thirty to sixty minutes before checking social media or YouTube to see if the Detroit Lions have shared Dan Campbell’s locker room speech following the game.

Although it’s hard not to become excited when the coach speaks, this makes him an effective motivator.

The Lions are willing to run through brick walls for Campbell because his locker room rants have become so epic.

Maureen Monte claims that we have witnessed this throughout the season, including his handling of the refs stealing the game from the Lions in Dallas.

Monte declared, “I think there’s a thing called self-leadership.” “You cannot lead people if you are unable to govern yourself. He decided to take that as motivation and declared, “We’re going to win every game the rest of the way.”

According to her, employees and athletes have a say in whether the boss is genuine and whether to work together, whether in business or sports.

According to Monte, “leaders must have a profound connection with those in charge; they cannot treat their people like equipment.”

She claims that Campbell does, but she thinks that his sincerity and demand for responsibility give him a true competitive edge.

“You can’t fake that; they can smell intent, whether you care about them or not. They can smell intent to believe what you are saying if you know what you’re doing,” Monte stated.

But Campbell’s relentless attack mode adds one more element that elevates his strategy above the rest.

“We’re not the team in last place; we’re attacking the opposition, and eventually that builds competence and confidence and then you have this momentum that just keeps going and going,” Monte stated. “The navy seals do it that way.”

Bill Parcells taught Campbell the game, and Sean Peyton was his coach. That’s NFL coaching aristocracy, so whether Campbell realized he was embracing the leadership development curriculum from the Navy Seals or not, he’s hit gold and is making the most of it. Maybe all the way to the Super Bowl and Las Vegas.

According to Mone, talking about the Super Bowl as a goal right now is a very smart move.
