No name is more synonymous with greatness in the sport of golf than the name Jack Nicklaus, and no single person has changed the face of the sport more than Jack Nicklaus – the player, the designer, the philanthropist, and the good-will ambassador. Jack was named “Golfer of the Century” or “Golfer of the Millennium” by almost every major golf publication in the world. He was also named Individual Male Athlete of the Century by Sports Illustrated, and one of the 10 Greatest Athletes of the Century by ESPN.
Jack’s competitive career spanned five decades, and his legend has been built with 120 professional tournament victories worldwide and a record 18 professional major-championship titles (six Masters, five PGA Championships, four U.S. Opens, three British Opens). He is one of only five golfers who have won all four of golf’s modern majors, an achievement often referred to as the career “Grand Slam.” Jack remains the only player to have completed the career Grand Slam on both the regular and senior tours.

Being good at business is all about stepping back and looking at an issue from different vantage points.
One of the greatest skills you can have as a leader is being able to come into work and think differently about something than how you thought about it yesterday. This means rethinking why decisions were made and whether they are still valid today.
(9:41-12:23)
In your opinion, what does it mean to look at issues from different vantage points?
Are there in current processes in your organization that might need to be thought about from a different vantage point?
When you become a leader, you have different responsibilities. Everyone is looking at you. They want to know how you feel about issues; they’re looking to see whether you’re in a good mood or a bad mood; whether you’re paying attention in the meeting; how you respond to certain questions.
That’s an enormous sense of responsibility that you carry. And it carries not just through the organization, but through the external community, including clients, shareholders, and potential employees. So, you always have to make sure that you’re sending the right message.
