(Back Cover Copy) Here is my personal method for buildinga maximum-performance team;one capable of competitive greatness and success. [photo of Coach Wooden] “There is nothing fancy in what I teach about team building; nothing that requires a special gift, privilege, or access to power. Rather, it requires dedication to certain principles and concepts, which I include in this book.” “Success is within the grasp of each and every one of us. Success, as I define it, is not determined by fame, fortune, or being #1. . . . Success may result in winning, but winning does not necessarily mean you are a success.” “These words are worth your consideration. They go straight to the core of being an effective leader: 'Live as though you'll die tomorrow. Learn as though you'll live forever.'” -John Wooden (Flap Copy) “While I played to win, winning was never the way I measured my success. Nor was it how I gauged the success of those under my supervision.” Legendary coach John Wooden fought hard to win - always.
