Here’s a compelling description for Part 2 of this concept:
🎙 B.E.A.S.T. Mentality Podcast – Part 2: "Leadership Styles Are Caught, Not Taught" w/ Coach Barney
In Part 2 of this series, I sit down with Coach Barney from Södertälje to explore a powerful leadership framework he calls VIRKA—inspired by the Swedish term for knitting/crochet. Just like leadership, problem-solving is a process of weaving together different elements to create a strong foundation.
🔍 VIRKA Breakdown:
✅ V – Vad (What is the problem?)
✅ I – Identify (Who is involved, directly or indirectly?)
✅ R – Reasonable Reaction (What is a fair response?)
✅ K – Compromise (Finding middle ground)
✅ A – Action (Taking steps to solve it)
We also discuss the three levels of problem-solving in sports and leadership:
1️⃣ Personal – Solve it between the individuals involved.
2️⃣ Coach – Bring in a coach for guidance.
3️⃣ Parents – When necessary, involve parents to support resolution.
🚀 This episode dives deep into how leaders solve problems, build culture, and create accountability within a team or organization. If you want to develop a leadership style that is caught, not just taught, this is a must-listen!
