Their lyrics have actually helped me become a better leader some of their insights really jump out at me. If you’re like me, you’ll agree that leaders can learn from anywhere. Glenn Frey’s death a few years back not only saddened me, but made me reflect back on his writing. Don Henley and Glenn Frey had a way of capturing life in their lyrics that is both accurate and little too true. It’s actually an intriguing study for anyone who leads a team. Last summer I watched the History of the Eagles documentary-a fascinating study in leadership and human dynamics as the band pretty honestly talks about the tension of being a band and the ups and downs that came with it. Over the last few years, I’ve not only enjoyed their music in a fresh way, but their lyrics inspired me to think through some of the deeper issues of life and leadership. I downloaded one of their albums, then more, and was amazed not only by their musicianship but by their lyrics. While I always liked them, they weren’t one of my go-to bands until I rediscovered them a few summers ago while writing a book. When I was a kid, Eagles’ music was all over the radio, and thanks to the birth of the classic rock format in music, their music never really disappeared. Music is the fuel for so much in life and even in leadership.
