## Resource

A new general manager inherits more than a title. They inherit a culture, a team, a membership — and a window of clarity that closes faster than most people realize. Join Derek with Luke Burbach, the new general manager at The Club at Golden Valley. This conversation is an on-the-ground look at what principled leadership looks like in motion: how to build structured listening into the calendar before acting, how to find quick wins that signal engagement without forcing change, and why the single greatest risk of a mishandled first 90 days isn't operational — it's relational. Whether you're a board preparing for a GM transition, a general manager stepping into a new club, or a leader wondering how identity stays alive once the brand work is done, this episode offers a candid, human account of what it actually takes to turn a strong identity into a living culture.
