COACH K - ON LEADERSHIP

Building Personal Strength

Having read over 200 books on leadership, I prefer a book not by someone who has thought well about leadership, but someone who has actually been a successful leader. If John Wooden's book on leadership is my favorite, Mike Krzyzewski's book, Leading with the Heart is a close second. Coach K and I were cadets at West Point at the same time. He was in the class of 1969, two classes after me, so even though we were assigned to the same cadet regiment, I remember him mainly from what he did on the

Dare to Stay Engaged through a Positive Mindset!

Anese Cavanaugh

I was on a flight from NYC to Chicago a couple of weeks ago and sat next to a gentleman who’d worked for a large financial firm on Wall Street. He was now without a job and exploring options. As I spoke with this guy, what struck me was his attitude. He was looking at this “horrible” situation, one that was stressful and would have a large impact on his family (including a possible relocation), as an opportunity to re-assess and “start over.” He said, “I’

What these engagement programs actually do is create and reinforce feelings of victim-hood and leave employees unprepared to adapt to real changes that are necessary for the health and profitability of their enterprises.
