VFL with Renaldo Wynn Joe Gibbs Leadership Segment
Sunday's Nascar Championship at Homestead-Miami Speedway was an emotional victory for the entire JGR team. Kyle Busch won his second championship with a five-second lead over his teammate and runner up, Martin Truex, Jr., who, like his teammate Denny Hamlin, had pit issues that cost them the race. It was a significant championship for the entire organization, as J.D. Gibbs, JGR's president, passed away in January of this year.
Tim Yeager and I caught up with former 13 year NFL veteran, Renaldo Wynn, who played for Coach Gibbs at the Redskins and who worked for Joe Gibbs Racing the past 8 years. When asked what sets Coach Gibbs apart as a leader, Renaldo replied that it has everything to do with Gibbs speaking vision into his leaders. Watch this clip to hear Renaldo describe Gibbs' leadership style.
