Listening To Bill Russell Discussing Leadership Is Remarkably Amazing

Bill Russell is undoubtedly one of the greatest player in NBA history. No one has one as many championships as Bill.

He’s an 11-time NBA champion (1957, 1959–1966, 1968, 1969), 5- time NBA MVP (1958, 1961–1963, 1965), 12-time NBA All-Star (1958–1969), 11-time All-NBA Team member, 4-time rebounding champion and a 2-time NCAA champion.

Winning is part of his DNA. He was the ultimate leader and is a true legend. Reason enough for everyone to listen to Russell talk about his childhood, the values of working hard, and not losing one’s humanity.

For this video, Russell partnered up with non-profit organization ‘MENTOR’ that seeks to improve mentoring of and leadership within local communities. They couldn’t have found a better spokesperson than Russell. Him discussing leadership is a real treat.
