Book Notes: Wooden on Leadership

Wooden on Leadership: How to Create a Winning Organization by John Wooden, Steve Jamison
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The book starts by going through the pyramid – highlighting the corner stoned of industriousness (proactivity) and enthusiasm then building up layer by layer. However they key to the book is really in team work – the examples are all about basketball are relevant to all teams. Building an environment where “what can I do to help the team?” is much more important than “how can I get ahead?”. Focusing on the team performing at it’s peak- not on the opposition. Using the analogy that it takes 10 hands to score a basket.
