Goldminds: Anyone Can Lead

When people talk about leadership, most of the time they’re thinking about some great historical figure or exceptional speaker that they’ve seen on television or in the movies. Or maybe they connect the word, “leadership,” with a prominent writer, artist, musician, politician, coach or another notable achiever that they’ve seen, met, heard or read about.

However, leadership has changed. You don’t need to be a great writer, artist, musician, politician, coach or great speaker to be a great leader.

Anyone can lead.

To learn more about what it takes to be a great leader, check out the November 2018 issue of Swimming World Magazine, available now!  Swimming World subscribers can download this issue in the Swimming World Vault!

by Joseph Salvatore Prezioso
This past summer’s Boston Harbor Open Water Swim was one of several swimming-related events sponsored by Swim Across America to raise money and awareness for cancer research, prevention and treatment.

026 TWICE THE MAN
by David Rieder
Not many swimmers are able to do what Jordan Wilimovsky does—and that’s swim both the 1500 meter freestyle in the pool and the 10K Marathon race in open water…and be successful at both. In fact, in 2016 he became the first American ever to qualify in both pool and open water events at the same Olympics.
