What can one of the most successful coaches in the history of professional basketball tell CEOs, executives, entrepreneurs, and managers about leadership? Everything! In this fascinating account of his nearly seven decades as a player, coach, general manager, goodwill ambassador, color commentator, and NBA analyst for ESPN, basketball legend Dr. Jack Ramsay reveals the guiding principles and best practices that make for outstanding leadership both on and off the court.
Through colorful anecdotes that span his entire career, Hall of Fame coach Ramsay illustrates how great NBA players, coaches, and owners develop their self-confidence, learn to inspire confidence in others, motivate colleagues and subordinates, and lead by example. He demonstrates how these techniques can be applied in any profession or industry and presents principles of leadership that hold true in every situation. He offers concrete, commonsense advice on how to:
- Stay true to yourself while developing a powerful leadership style
- Communicate effectively with colleagues and subordinates
- Encourage others to do their very best
- Adapt to changes in any business environment
- Set goals and succeed at the highest level
- Handle major career transitions
- And much more
You'll learn how to prepare for every business meeting the way Larry Bird prepared for every game; how to revitalize a slumping company the way owner Mark Cuban transformed the Dallas Mavericks; and how to demonstrate trust in your colleagues the way Michael Jordan showed confidence in his teammates. You'll also learn how retired athletes such as Magic Johnson, Bill Bradley, and Billy Cunningham handled difficult transitions into new careers, starting over from scratch at an age when most of us are just hitting our stride.
Do basketball lessons apply in real life? As Minnesota Timberwolves star Kevin Garnett puts it, "You've got to work hard, know where you're going, show people you care, and communicate, you've really got to communicate. It's harder in real life, because it never stops." Read Dr. Jack's Leadership Lessons Learned from a Lifetime in Basketball, and find out what it takes to become a true leader and an unstoppable winner.
