Former NFL general manager and three-time Super Bowl winner Michael Lombardi was most recently on the New England Patriots coaching staff for Bill Belichick after thirty years working in the front offices of the San Francisco 49ers, the Philadelphia Eagles, the Oakland Raiders, and the Cleveland Browns (where he was general manager).

Author of Gridiron Genuis, Lomardi reveals what he learned working with coaching legends Bill Walsh of the 49ers, Al Davis of the Raiders, and Bill Belichick of the Patriots, among others, during his three decades in football. Lombardi provides the blueprint that makes a successful organization click and win – and the mistakes unsuccessful organizations make that keep them on the losing side time and again.

Lombardi now writes for The Athletic, has his own podcast, The GM Shuffle, and is co-founder of The Daily Coach.

Leadership Is Destroying Culture

Michael Lombardi’s Speech Topics

Everything Starts with Culture

Culture precedes positive results. It does not get tacked on as an afterthought, on the way to a championship. It starts from day one, with everyone adhering to a standard of performance.
The Secret to All Victory Lies in the Non-Obvious

Everyone can see what is essential and obvious. Still, those that can find the crucial non-obvious factors that determine victory will stay far ahead of their competition—being able to see what others don’t produce results.
Winning on the Gridiron and in the Boardroom

All sports, especially NFL football, are similar to any business organization, group or team. The foundations for building a championship team are the same for building a successful organization.

What other organizations say about Michael Lombardi

Michael is a phenomenal and engaging speaker. We’ve all heard many speakers from the sports world try to bridge the gap between their experiences and lessons for business. It is a tough task for most. Michael has thought deeply about what made organizations like the 49ers and Patriots successful and he has worked hard on figuring out how to best communicate those concepts to everyday people. His principles are simple and understandable yet powerful, and he illustrates them with captivating stories from his time in the NFL. He isn’t afraid to share tough truths and non-obvious lessons.

What other organizations say about Michael Lombardi

Mr. Lombardi exceeded expectations and is a fabulous speaker that keeps the audience engaged by drawing parallels between his experience working with some of the greatest leaders in football and what leadership looks like in the corporate technology world. He is very personable and brought a lot of humor and a demonstration of his engagement was a Q&A session at the end that could have gone on for hours. The team now understands how key sports leadership principles apply to excellence within technology sales. I look forward to having Michael speak again in the future and would highly recommend him if you would like to have your organization apply new thinking to improve and grow!
