What has worked in the past, I keep notes of lessons and things like that. So, you know, you go back and you look over, is that the right thing I need to be doing right now?

Am I working well? Am I working at the right things? Have I got the right information? You know, if you've got those three things, then everything will be fine. The best lessons come from your own experiences.

That is, if you take the time to capture them.

Welcome to How Leaders Lead.

I'm David Novak, and every week I have conversations with the very best leaders in the world

to help you become the best leader that you can be.

Well, it's April, and that means we can all officially start getting into master's mode.

I know I am, and after this episode, you will be too.

Because today I'm talking with Danny Willett.

He's a professional golfer and the 2016 Masters Champion. He won his green

jacket in one of the wildest Sunday backnines I can remember. And in today's episode, he tells

the story from that day that you absolutely cannot miss. You'll also see that Danny is a thoughtful

and intentional guy. He's great at documenting his own experiences and learning from.

That habit has helped him refine his game and it's helped him pivot when things aren't

working.

Because let's face it, just like golf, leadership is full of ups and downs.

But when you're intentional about tracking your progress

and reflecting on it, it's a lot easier to fix what's not working and get back on track.

So here's my conversation with my good friend and soon to be yours, Danny Willett.

I had the distinct pleasure of getting to play with you.

You weren't my partner, but I got to play with you in a seminal pro member, and you were so much fun to play with.

You were laid back.
