"Team spirit, loyalty, enthusiasm, determination. . . .
Acquire and keep these traits and success should follow."
--Coach John Wooden
John Wooden is without question one of the most respected
and honored sports coaches in our nation's history. But it wasn't winning
games that drove him; it was ensuring that, regardless of the final score, his
players always put forth their utmost effort and performed to the best of
their abilities.
One of the lesser-known aspects of Wooden is the notebooks
in which, beginning in 1948, he regularly recorded his thoughts, inspirations,
and life lessons. In Wooden on Leadership, the legendary coach and his
longtime collaborator Steve Jamison combine the best of those notebooks with
Wooden's far-more-celebrated Pyramid of Success to create a leadership skills
guide designed to help anyone develop character, conviction, and remarkable
achievement.
Whether discussing teamwork ("It takes 10 hands to score a
basket"), organization ("Don't mistake activity for achievement"), or even
discipline ("Use the carrot as a stick"), it constructs a masterful template
for confronting limitations and achieving personal success in virtually any
setting or situation.
