Why you should read Leading with the Heart
Duke University basketball coach Mike "Coach K" Krzyzewski and co-author Donald T. Phillips have written a heartfelt and practical book. The coach weaves his leadership and team strategies into lessons not just for sports, but for business and life. The book, which includes a foreword by Grant Hill (yes, he can write, too!), is filled with personal experiences, anecdotes, and examples. The coach uses sports as a metaphor for management. For example, he advises: "Never let a person’s weakness get in the way of his strengths." getAbstract recommends this well-written book to anyone interested in emotionally balanced team-building, as developed by a winning coach.
