Whether you are coaching football, running a business, leading a charitable organization, or organizing a ministry team, the first step to success is in building a winning team. Author Tom Mullins, a winning college football coach himself, sought input from eight national champion football coaches for their approaches in building balanced and cohesive teams. Their responses are the Key Principles shared in The Leadership Game. Coaches Osborne, McCartney, Stallings, Fulmer, Stoops, Bowden, Coker, and Spurrier share insights, anecdotes, and real-life experiences here. Having won 11 of the last 13 national championships collectively, these coaches have what it takes to equip any leader to strategically build a successful team.
I found this in my church's bookstore (don't let that scare you off if you're not a church-goer), and gave it a go. Very nice job by the author. The format is interesting, taking various topics and getting input from some leading college football coaches (hint: they're all National Champions, so they know something about coaching and leadership). If you're a football fan, you'll know these guys fairly well already, but the book gives great insight into what makes them tick, and how they get their organizations to perform at a high level. This book is appropriate for anyone looking to add to their leadership tool chest, no matter what their field of endeavor.
