Lead it Like Lasso: A Ted Lasso Rewatch Podcast

S4E7: Yes & Baby — You Can't Copy and Paste Culture Yes. Yes. Yes. Turns out that's not necessarily great leadership. In Season 4, Episode 7 — “Yes & Baby” — Alice is determined to become a better version of herself. So she embraces a new philosophy: say yes. To everything. Barefoot practice? Yes. Blindfolds? Yes. Water break? Yes. Then Ted introduces her to one of the fundamental principles of improv: Yes, and. As Ted explains it, yes opens the door. “And” allows people to walk through it. And that distinction gives us one of our favorite leadership conversations of the season. This week, we dig into: Why “Yes, and” is really a leadership principle The difference between acceptance and contribution How Alice initially overcorrects after receiving difficult feedback Why leaders need to adapt their coaching to the person they're coaching Alice's breakthrough with Shannon The importance of clear and immediate feedback Why “Tell me about yourself” is such a deceptively difficult question Ted's struggle to see in himself what he sees so easily in other people Why loving yourself isn't the same as bragging about yourself Core values and the difference between putting words on a wall and actually living them Why a team can't simply inherit someone else's culture Maslow's hierarchy and the very different realities facing Richmond's women's team Roy Kent's three jobs of a captain Why Erin may demonstrate Roy's definition of leadership better than anyone Rebecca, Zelda, and the Scorpion and the Frog The episode also gives us perhaps the most important evolution of one of Ted Lasso's most iconic ideas. Alice hangs Ted's new BELIEVE sign in the women's locker room. The players aren't impressed. Why? They already believe. They wouldn't be playing second-division football if they didn't. These women are juggling childcare, rent increases, broken cars, internships, second jobs and football. Belief isn't their problem. And as Shannon points out, the men's team already has a BELIEVE sign. They don't want a hand-me-down culture. They need to make it their own. So Alice does exactly what she's been learning to do: Yes, and... The team adds two words: AND WIN. BELIEVE becomes BELIEVE AND WIN. Because great culture can't simply be copied and pasted from one team to another. Leaders can introduce an idea, but the people living that culture have to make it their own. We also get plenty of Easter eggs and callbacks, including Peaky Blinders , “Red Right Hand,” Charlotte's Web , the Ted Tax, the Scorpion and the Frog, another suspicious Derek, and the continuing mystery of Ted's sinking chair. Then come the predictions. Is Charlotte's Web foreshadowing someone preparing Richmond for a future without them? Is Roy really leaving at the end of the season? Could Alice eventually move into Ted's chair? Will Ted return to Bantr? And we're completely changing our Zelda prediction. Instead of Zelda changing Rebecca, what if Rebecca is here to change Zelda? Finally, Ted puts last week's lesson into action. He deletes his Bantr application, goes to the theatre and asks the Stage Manager out in person. She says she'd absolutely date him... except she just started seeing someone. Sometimes growth isn't getting the outcome you wanted. Sometimes it's being willing to ask. Stay curious. Stay kind. And keep leading it like Lasso.

S4E6: Don't Jump Around Much Anymore — Perfect Can Be the Opposite of Good It's New Year's Eve in Richmond. And everybody seems to be somewhere between who they were and who they're becoming. In Season 4, Episode 6 — “Don't Jump Around Much Anymore” — the Lady Greyhounds head to Zelda's extravagant boat party, Rebecca and Keeley attend a celebrity vodka launch, Ted spends the evening with Michelle and Henry, and Roy Kent makes one very unfortunate decision when he hears “Jump Around.” Oh, and Jamie Tartt is back. But underneath all the New Year's chaos is one of our favorite leadership ideas: Sometimes perfect is the opposite of good. Jamie gives Rebecca that advice after she admits she may have ruined something wonderful with Matthijs because it wasn't perfect. But the idea keeps showing up throughout the episode. Alice wants to show up perfectly. Ted may be waiting until he's perfectly ready to date. Rebecca wants certainty. And Michelle gives Ted essentially the same lesson: Continuous improvement is better than delayed perfection. Which sounds suspiciously similar to one of our Rules from Lead It Like Lasso : Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. We're sure the writers read our book. Probably. Maybe. This week, we also dig into: Why, if you don't tell your story, other people may create one for you Why knowing someone's story doesn't necessarily make it yours to tell The disconnect between Alice believing nobody wants her around and the team repeatedly asking where she is Why we shouldn't assume people know they're valued The difference between gathering people and creating genuine belonging Why great leaders see things in us that we can't always see in ourselves Michelle's surprisingly important role in helping Ted become Ted Gemma's emerging leadership and her ability to separate Alice the person from Alice's behavior Why progress isn't linear Why failure doesn't have to become part of our identity The continuing importance of accountability Why Zelda is beginning to look much more like a manipulator than an advocate And, naturally, there are plenty of callbacks and Easter eggs. We get Cast Away , Forrest Gump , Saving Private Ryan , Eyes Wide Shut , David Hockney, a possible Cristiano Ronaldo reference, the Roy Kent chant turned inside out, and one of the funniest Roy/Jamie scenes we've seen. Roy Kent should not have jumped around. On the relationship front, Keeley overhears almost all of Roy's drug-induced confession to Erin — except the part where he finally says: “I love you, Keeley.” We also get confirmation that Ted hasn't forgotten about the mysterious Stage Manager, Matthijs makes a New Year's Eve return, and Beard discovers that sometimes waiting until midnight doesn't work out exactly as planned. Finally, Michelle leaves Ted with one last gift: A new BELIEVE sign. Same message. Different colors. Is this simply the same Ted becoming a different version of himself? Or does the reversed sign mean that after years of believing in everyone around him, Ted finally needs to learn to believe in himself? We'll be watching. And for the first time, we're experiencing Ted Lasso right along with you. Tell us what we missed and what you think happens next. Stay curious. Stay kind. And keep leading it like Lasso.

S4E5: Riches of Embarrassment — The Risk of Staying Small Embarrassment. An emotion so useless, according to Ted Lasso, “it should be embarrassed of itself.” But is it really useless? Season 4, Episode 5 — “Riches of Embarrassment” — gives us one of the most leadership-packed episodes of the season so far. The Richmond women are preparing for their biggest match yet against Chelsea. Keeley thinks she's sold out Nelson Road. Alice is becoming increasingly frustrated with Ted and the players. Rebecca is worried that closing the distance with Matthijs could destroy their relationship. Roy's ten-date experiment takes an unexpected turn. And Beard goes to see Jane's one-woman show. Because of course he does. This week, we explore one of Ted's biggest ideas: Embarrassment can keep us small and scared. But Marnie pushes back. Maybe embarrassment isn't useless. Maybe it's an important guardrail — until we allow it to keep us from taking the risks necessary to grow. We also dig into: Why vulnerability starts with the leader The increasingly obvious parallels between Alice and Nate Why Ted is handling Alice differently — and what that says about learning from failure Ted's barbecue analogy and the difference between command-and-control and servant leadership Why dreamers and doers need each other The danger of confusing online attention with real-world commitment Why “tapping a screen” isn't the same as showing up Keeley's half-empty stadium and how perspective changes our definition of success Why the rearview mirror is smaller than the windshield Rebecca's fear that Matthijs will become another Rupert Zelda: mentor, manipulator...or future villain? Roy and Keeley's increasingly complicated relationship Ted's mysterious stage manager — and whether he might finally be ready to date And there are plenty of Easter eggs and callbacks, including a brilliant Season 1 mustard callback, The Town , Bridesmaids , Macbeth , Princess Jasmine, biscuits, Nate, and several theatre superstitions that don't work out particularly well for Beard. Marnie also introduces a new category: The anti-callback. We'll see if that sticks. Finally, we make our predictions: Boots and her gloves, Shannon's role in Alice's redemption, Zelda's real intentions, the mysterious stage manager, Roy's new relationship — and Nick once again insisting that Ted and Rebecca are endgame. For the first time, we're watching Ted Lasso right along with you. So tell us what we missed and what you think happens next. Stay curious. Stay kind. And keep leading it like Lasso.

The Lady Greyhounds are undefeated. They’re also very much not a team yet. In Season 4, Episode 4, Greyhounds’ Day Off , Ted discovers that winning can hide a culture problem as attackers, defenders and midfielders retreat into their own cliques. Which means it’s time for some intentional team building. Naturally, this being Ted Lasso , it ends with a pub fight and a trip to jail. We dig into why teams have to form, storm, norm and perform , why good team building is about interaction rather than activities, and why the way the Greyhounds behave off the pitch tells us a lot about who they are on it. We also get one of our favorite leadership ideas of the season when Keeley explains that Rebecca’s constant no actually makes her ideas better. We connect that to David Epstein’s work on constraints and innovation, the importance of having your own Diamond Dogs, and why sometimes the person pushing back on your idea is exactly the person you need. Plus: How performance can hide culture problems Why your strengths can become your shadow behaviors What attackers, defenders and midfielders teach us about career signals Why excitement is data Ted balancing connection with accountability Trent Crimm and Dr. Sharon! Roy’s extremely efficient approach to ten dates Our Zelda, Roy, Beard and Jane predictions And whether Trent’s podcast might give us a very clever way to see some familiar Richmond faces again Whistle, whistle. Game’s over, but the leadership lessons keep on playing.

S4E3: Richmond's Got Talent — Life Is a Series of Chances The Lady Greyhounds are starting to feel like a real team. But building something new isn't easy. In Season 4, Episode 3 — “Richmond's Got Talent” — AFC Richmond needs a striker, the Higgins Report is causing trouble, a sponsor gets cold feet, Keeley's kits are nowhere to be found, and the Richmond faithful aren't exactly embracing change. Sounds like a leadership challenge to us. This week, we explore one of the episode's biggest ideas: Life is a series of chances. Richmond takes a chance on a women's team. Ted takes a chance on Shannon. Ted takes a chance on Alice. Alice takes a chance on Gemma. Gemma takes another chance on football. And Rebecca has to convince Pinter & Sons to take another chance on Richmond. But that raises an interesting leadership question: When is believing in someone leadership—and when does it become favoritism? We also dig into: Why the launch of Richmond Women's FC is really a lesson in change management Keeley's powerful line: “Women don't get friendlies. We either succeed or fail.” Psychological safety and giving people room to fail Why no communication can sometimes be worse than bad communication Rebecca texting Keeley vs. showing up face-to-face for Pinter & Sons Alice and Gemma—and the leadership difference between intent and impact Why treating everyone the same isn't necessarily the same as leading everyone well Keeley's lesson in mentorship, ownership and asking for help Roy Kent's growth—and the glorious one-page Jones Report Susan Boyle, Gemma and one perfectly constructed piece of foreshadowing Shannon's return to Richmond The changing Ted–Alice–Beard coaching dynamic Work-life balance and the growing pressure on Rebecca And, of course, predictions. Is Lizzie our future captain? Are Beard and Alice becoming...a thing? What does Roy's expiring contract mean? Are Roy and Keeley finally headed back toward each other? And Nick is doubling down on his long-term Ted + Rebecca prediction. We could be brilliant. We could be completely wrong. That's the fun of watching Season 4 in real time. Stay curious. Stay kind.

Ted's back in Richmond. The BELIEVE sign is back. And dare we say it... Ted Lasso is starting to feel like Ted Lasso again. This week, we're breaking down Season 4, Episode 2, “Curiouser and Curiouser!” Ted meets the Richmond women's team and quickly becomes fascinated by the stories behind the players—especially Boots, a goalkeeper who refuses to wear gloves. But the biggest story Ted uncovers may belong to Alice Chilton, the abrasive, brutally honest coach who has just resigned after being passed over for the top job. The episode reinforces one of our favorite leadership ideas: Stats tell you what. Stories tell you why. We talk about why great leaders get curious about the person behind the résumé, why reputation and identity aren't the same thing, and how Ted uses Alice's own story to see something in her that others may have missed. We also dig into: Is Alice Chilton the new Roy Kent? Why “the sting is everything” might be one of the season's biggest leadership lessons. Rebecca's unexpected crisis over whether she's really supporting women. Why feedback can be right—and still be delivered wrong. The looming financial threat revealed by the Higgins Report. Roy making biscuits and quietly becoming more like Ted. The Time Traveler's Wife Easter egg. Ted and Beard's hilariously perfect “You're the Inspiration” moment. Roy + Keeley. We're just saying... Could Josie's injury open the door for Shannon? And what the heck is going on with Poppy Thompson? For the first time, we're watching Ted Lasso in real time right along with you—so our predictions could be brilliant...or completely wrong.

🎙️ Lead It Like Lasso Podcast: So Long, Farewell – Season 3 Finale Recap In this powerful season finale episode, Nick Coniglio and Marnie Stockman are joined once again by real-life “Coach Lasso” Lee MJ Elias to unpack the emotional final chapter of Ted Lasso Season 3 — So Long, Farewell . They reflect on what it means to let go, grow, and lead with heart. Lee shares uncanny parallels between his own life and the fictional series — from coaching in the UK to now leading the Puerto Rican women’s national hockey team to a gold medal. Together, they dive deep into the epilogue-style storytelling of the finale and explore why the show’s greatest victories were never about the scoreboard. 💡 Key Leadership Takeaways: Letting Go to Move Forward: The finale reminds us that great leaders create something that lasts beyond them. Whether it’s Ted returning home or Rebecca sharing ownership, legacy is built through trust. Growth Over Glory: AFC Richmond didn’t win the league — and that’s the point. Winning isn’t the only measure of success. Becoming the best version of yourself is. Team Over Ego: From Jamie’s transformation to Roy’s vulnerability, the show affirms that authentic leadership and deep team bonds matter more than individual accolades. Mental Fitness Matters: The conversation explores how self-awareness, healing, and inner growth drive meaningful leadership — not perfection. The Power of Belief: As Lee says, “Anytime people come together for a common goal, it's miraculous.” That’s the heart of Ted Lasso — and of the Lead It Like Lasso philosophy. 👤 Connect with Lee MJ Elias: Twitter: @leemjelias Website: game7group.com 📘 Learn more about the book: LeadItLikeLasso.com 💌 Subscribe to the Weekly Curiosity Newsletter for leadership inspiration 🐾 And remember: Be curious, not judgmental.

🎙️ Lens of Leadership | S3 E11: Mom City In this emotional and revealing episode of Lens of Leadership , Nick Coniglio and Marnie Stockman dive deep into Ted Lasso Season 3, Episode 11: Mom City — an episode full of second chances, parental reckonings, and rediscovering purpose. 🧠 What We Explore: The Power of Processing Pain Ted’s surprise visit from his mother Dottie forces both of them to confront their long-buried grief, revealing how unprocessed emotions can impact leadership, parenting, and self-care. Redemption and Second Chances Nate’s return to coaching is paved with humility, growth, and Beard’s powerful backstory. What does it mean to be judged by your weakest moment—or your strength when you’re given a second chance? Jamie’s Identity Crisis Without his father’s approval driving him, Jamie loses his spark. But with help from Roy, Keeley, and Ted (plus a meaningful visit to his mom), he learns the leadership skill no one talks about: forgiveness —for others, and for yourself. The Leadership Archetype of "The Caretaker" Ted and Dottie both show how helping others without caring for yourself can lead to burnout. Marnie and Nick explore how this archetype shows up in real-life leadership—and why it resonates so strongly with audiences. Keely’s Growth and Motivation Shift No longer driven by appearance or fame, Keely is embracing a deeper purpose. We unpack the idea that fear of success can be as limiting as fear of failure. The Power of Support Networks Jamie doesn’t heal in isolation—it takes Roy, Keeley, Ted, and even his mom to bring him back. We discuss how leaders need their own “Diamond Dogs” to thrive. 📚 Bonus Takeaways: Insights on trauma and leadership from psychologist Dr. Benjamin Hardy, how moms really do have superpowers (science says so!), and why “hurt people hurt people” isn’t just a throwaway line—it’s a leadership lens. 🔔 Like, Subscribe & Share If you're loving the way Ted Lasso is teaching us to lead with heart, humor, and humility—join us. 📬 Subscribe to our newsletter: workinprogmess.ai 🌍 Learn more: leaditlikelasso.com 📱 Follow us on socials: @leaditlikelasso #TedLasso #MomCity #LensOfLeadership #LeadershipPodcast #Forgiveness #EmotionalIntelligence #TedLassoPodcast #WorkInProgress #LeadItLikeLasso

Nate’s quiet redemption — including a powerful moment of healing between father and son. Rebecca’s Lioness Moment — taking a principled stand against the Super League, reminding us that power doesn’t equal ownership. Roy’s return to emotional honesty — through tie-dye, Phoebe’s wisdom, and a handwritten letter to Keeley. Keeley’s fall and rise — with help from May, Rebecca, and a little well-timed lightning. 💡 Leadership lessons are everywhere: How do you respond when someone around you is treated unfairly?
