Celtics' Jayson Tatum details what leadership looks like to him

[ASFN Admin]

Jayson Tatum is currently traveling around on a mini-tour with Jordan Brand. The Boston Celtics superstar recently showed up at the "Blue Cages" in London, England. On Saturday, July 25, Tatum arrived in Chicago, where he interacted with the community and addressed the youth in attendance.

During his speech, which was posted to his Instagram stories, Tatum addressed how he views leadership and what he believes makes a good leader.

"Being a leader doesn't mean you know it all, right? I don't know it all," Tatum said. "I'll be the first person to say that. Being a leader is being comfortable with raising your hand like, I don't know. Can you explain that to me? I don't know X, Y, and Z. I want to learn. Being around somebody that feels like they know it all, I don't want to be around that person. I don't want to be the smartest person in the room. I want to learn from somebody else."

Tatum's comments on leadership come at the perfect time. Following the Celtics' decision to part ways with Jaylen Brown, Tatum will be expected to take on a larger leadership role within Boston's locker room, both next season and in the years to come.

Leadership comes in all different forms. Some lead by example, others are vocal, and of course, some choose to lead in a collaborative manner that allows everyone to feel invested in a project or goal. It will be interesting to see how Tatum's leadership style develops as the season goes on.

For now, though, it's fun hearing Tatum's thoughts on leadership and how that can look within a team setting. We'll surely hear more of those thoughts once the new NBA season is underway.
