His leadership tenets are grounded in what I know for sure: Who you are as a leader is who you are as a person. If you're wondering how to be an inspired leader in this sea change or perfect storm, read Wooden on Leadership. John Wooden is a reluctant legend, but a legend nonetheless. His leadership practices are pillars that support sustainable success in leaders.
Inspirational quotes that have really helped me."value is not based on wether I win or lose but wether I gave my best". Loved the book.
Great Buys.Everyone Hates a Ball Hog but they All Love a Scorer: The Complete Guide to Scoring Points on and off the Basketball Court John Wooden's insight and knowledge is priceless. This book coupled with Coach K and Coach Godwin's Everyone Hates a Ball Hog.
In the end, that is more important than anything else, which I think John Wooden would agree. He has seen an improvement in his team but more importantly noted how they have changed off the ice as well. After reading the book, and re-examining how I viewed my accomplishments, I was able to alleviate that pressure and concentrate on giving a better effort. Again, it's a very worthwhile book that anybody could learn from. Most have seen an improvement in the way they connect with the people under them and credit the book for giving them the direction they needed to improve their leadership qualities. John Wooden's book on Leadership is a great introspective view on a concept that is very hard to define.
I had a hard time trying to live up to the expectations of everyone else and that caused me to become discouraged and frustrated. They have become better students and all around better kids because of the values he tried to emphasize. Leadership is one of the most difficult concepts that we run into on a daily basis, both with families and in the workplace. One person is a high school hockey coach, and former roommate of mine. I would advise all of you to read it and pass it along to your friends or colleagues as well. His book is a wonderful tool that we all should utilize in order to better ourselves and our organizations.I would advise anyone to read this book and take to heart what he says, especially his definition of success.
As a result I was able to alter a few things in my life and experienced success as a byproduct.I have passed on the book to various teachers and coaches and they have all thanked me for it.
He presents an organized system that makes complete sense because of his support behind his claim; his support of examples of past experiences and trustworthy testimonials that are applied with perfect timing and relevance to the content. Although Wooden on Leadership is the first leadership book I have ever read, I still had to agree with the critics as I was reading the book. I decided to choose this particular book not only because of the great reviews it received, but because the author possesses such a remarkable credibility. I highly recommend this book to anyone who intends on building or honing his or her leadership skills.
Also, on almost every page is a quote that is related to that page's contents. To me, these tools kept the reading interesting and enjoyable. On many pages, Wooden includes a grey box with words of wisdom, advice and motivation being some of them. Overall, Wooden on Leadership is easy and interesting to read.
And, throughout the book I could see how Wooden's teachings would be able to help me in my future endeavors in becoming a successful entrepreneur. Wooden expresses himself as perfectly as can be, constantly telling us why he chose certain words so that the reader can understand exactly what he means. As a university student, I was required to read a book about leadership of my choice for a class. Even when I did not agree with one of his particular views, I could not help but change my position because of his strong argument and reasoning that are backed by convincing support.
Wooden is very detailed and specific as he explains step-by-step how to build and maintain the perfect leadership style. I knew that I had chosen the right one as I was reading the beginning pages. What I thought of leadership before became obviously incomplete and muddled.
