Though he was better at it than almost anyone in American history, building a sports dynasty was never a goal for UCLA head coach John Wooden. Rather, it was Wooden’s passionate desire to teach his players how to become the best team they could be. To Wooden, “Competitive Greatness” was a tangible and teachable force. One of the lesser-known aspects of Wooden’s career is the private notebooks in which he regularly recorded his observations, goals, and leadership concepts as they applied to basketball, success, and life. Wooden on Leadership draws from those personal notes to share practical and powerful leadership skills that anyone can use to improve performance and overcome self-imposed limitations.Wooden on Leadership contains the best of Wooden’s observations, covering everything from teamwork (“It takes 10 hands to score a basket”) and self-control (“Emotion is the enemy”) to concentration (“Don’t look at the scoreboard”) and dealing with defeat (“Things turn out best for those who make the best of the way things turn out”). Featuring pivotal moments in Wooden’s own leadership journey, it explores the 15 fundamental leadership qualities--building blocks--of his famous Pyramid of Success, illustrating their relevance in building a winning organization. Each chapter concludes with Wooden’s “Rules to Lead By,” point-by-point action steps covering the chapter’s key concepts. along with pivotal moments in his own leadership journey. “On Wooden” summary sections throughout the book feature penetrating insights on Coach Wooden’s leadership methods from players and coaches who worked with him during his career, including All-Americans Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Gail Goodrich, and David Meyers and assistant coaches Denny Crum, Gary Cunningham, and Eddie Powell. As participants and contributors to Wooden’s legacy, their words provide a revealing and personal perspective. Wooden on Leadership reveals the leadership wisdom of John Wooden. It presents the core concepts, methods, and beliefs that Wooden used to teach his teams how to attain Competitive Greatness, and true personal success. Author Profiles John Wooden (1910-2010), guided the UCLA Bruins to ten NCAA basketball championships over a 12-year period, including four perfect seasons and an 88-game winning streak. He was named ESPN’s “Greatest Coach of the 20th Century” and voted “#1 Coach of All Time” by The Sporting News. Sports Illustrated said it best when they said: “There’s never been a finer man in American sports than John Wooden, or a finer coach.” In 2003 John Wooden was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Steve Jamison is America's foremost author and authority on the life and philosophy of John Wooden. Mr. Jamison is a consultant to the UCLA Anderson Scool of Business’ John Wooden Global Leadership Program.

A truly outstanding book on leadership. This is an extraordinary book on leadership. The typical ones might advocate not sweating on the small stuff, Wooden would emphasize the importance of paying meticulous attention to pertinent details and handle them with balance; while others mentions the power of sincere praises, Wooden expands it further by adding the importance of flexibility and so on. The chapters on the importance of managing time, and dealing with fate are some uncommon but useful topics not covered very well by other books on leadership that I have read.It takes 10 hands to make a basket and more... A wonderful read. Dr. John Maxwell, Dr. Nido Qubein, etc have borowed numerous Wooden quotes. So I went to the well to drink from the source.99% of people will say, "THE DEVIL is in the details". John Wooden says, "SUCCESS is in the details." In his basket ball practices, John Wooden takes care of every detail down to wearing your socks properly, or drinking room temperature water so that you do get cramps.The TEAM wins the game. Not the player. As John summarizes "It takes 10 hands to make a basket." So many basket ball insights can be simply applied over to business and investing. A wonderful and refreshing read.William TehInvestor | Author | EntrepreneurTTTrends Investments
