About this title

From Booklist:

Florida State's Bobby Bowden is one of the most successful college football coaches of all time. Unlike some of his coaching peers who use self-help books as a way to promote their own careers, Bowden makes a sincere and mostly successful effort to equate his years in a leadership position to what readers face in the anonymous workaday world. Presenting his thoughts with refreshing humility, he delves into time management, hiring and firing, management ethics, salaries, and promotions. Early in his career as a junior college coach, he dealt with a problem player by lying to him; Bowden was troubled by his dishonesty and vowed never to lie to a player again. Readers won't find any groundbreaking management theories here, but they won't find any shortcuts, either. Bowden's success as a leader has been predicated on hard work, honesty, and consistency with his coaches and players. Sometimes the simplest things are the easiest to lose sight of; Bowden helps bring them back into focus. Wes Lukowsky
