Includes Authors' Dedications; Foreword; Preface; Acknowledgments; Appendix: Diary of a Super Bowl Team and Index. Signed and inscribed by co-author Brian Billick, with blue pen on the blank first free front endpaper. "Brian Billick is an incredible leader. He proved it by guiding his team, against all odds, on their amazing run to victory in the Super Bowl. In Competitive Leadership, he has provided a powerful professional and personal tool for the individual to develop his or her own leadership style. With his characteristic bluntness, clarity, and self deprecating humor, he shares key principles of effective leadership that can be applied to any competitive situation. Competitive Leadership is an entertaining, inspiring, and important book. I wholeheartedly recommend it for anyone wishing to develop personal leadership goals." - Jim Fassel, head coach, New York Giants. "Results are the truest measure of an outstanding leader, and Brian Billick's leadership style, especially his straight talk and his ability to bring people together around a common goal, ensures that his teams will produce outstanding results for a long time to come. We can all learn a great deal from Brian's book, Competitive Leadership." - Ed Walsh, senior vice president, human resources, Campbell Soup Co. "The leadership skills Brian Billick displayed in guiding the Ravens to a Super Bowl victory are described clearly, cogently, and convincingly, as well as with style and humor, in Competitive Leadership. If there was a Super Bowl for business books, Brian Billick would deserve another ring for this one." - Roxanne Spillett, president, Boys and Girls Clubs of America. "It's not about being a perfect leader. It's about being effective in the way you draw the best from yourself and your team." - Brian Billick. "Brian Billick, who guided the Baltimore Ravens to victory in Super Bowl XXXV in only his second year as head coach, has quickly earned a reputation as one of the best leaders and motivators in the ranks of the NFL. Creating what many football observers consider the NFL's all-time best defense, he led his team to football's Holy Grail against long odds and a tough series of adversaries. But Competitive Leadership is not a book about football. Rather, it is a tool for those who aspire to reach difficult goals in their own lives. Brian Billick has shared his 12 personal principles for building effective leadership skills - skills that took him to the top in football and that can lift you to the top in any situation. Billick will teach you how to use these principles in order to become an effective leader at all times, rather than a perfect leader in isolated situations. Competitive Leadership also shares coach Billick's championship-season diary, including weekly entries through the Super Bowl season. Readers can discover for themselves how Billick applied his own principles in order to achieve his remarkable goal - a Super Bowl victory. Filled with revealing anecdotes that illustrate each of Billick's principles, Competitive Leadership will share this successful coach's views on: How to deal with change and unanticipated problems; The value of independent thinking; How to create your own opportunities; The importance of lifelong learning; How to inspire confidence in yourself and others. Competitive Leadership will be an invaluable resource for business executives who want to focus and energize their employees, team members who want to be more effective contributors to their organizations, and anyone who wants to improve their leadership skills. With this unique learning tool, you'll see results - the truest measure of an effective leader." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. Signed by Author(s).

Also contains an Appendix, as well as a General Summary. This work is an elaboration of papers read before the Literary and Philosophical Society of Liverpool, Sessions 1877-78 and 1878-79. The reference are to "First Principles'" third edition, October 1875. Herbert Spencer (27 April 1820 - 8 December 1903) was an English philosopher, biologist, anthropologist, and sociologist famous for his hypothesis of social Darwinism whereby superior physical force shapes history. Spencer originated the expression "survival of the fittest", which he coined in Principles of Biology (1864) after reading Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species. The term strongly suggests natural selection, yet Spencer saw evolution as extending into realms of sociology and ethics, so he also supported Lamarckism. Spencer developed an all-embracing conception of evolution as the progressive development of the physical world, biological organisms, the human mind, and human culture and societies. As a polymath, he contributed to a wide range of subjects, including ethics, religion, anthropology, economics, political theory, philosophy, literature, astronomy, biology, sociology, and psychology. During his lifetime he achieved tremendous authority, mainly in English-speaking academia. "The only other English philosopher to have achieved anything like such widespread popularity was Bertrand Russell, and that was in the 20th century." Spencer was "the single most famous European intellectual in the closing decades of the nineteenth century" but his influence declined sharply after 1900. Spencer first articulated his evolutionary perspective in his essay, 'Progress: Its Law and Cause', published in Chapman's Westminster Review in 1857, and which later formed the basis of the First Principles of a New System of Philosophy (1862). In it he expounded a theory of evolution which combined insights from Samuel Taylor Coleridge's essay 'The Theory of Life' - itself derivative from Friedrich von Schelling's Naturphilosophie - with a generalization of von Baer's law of embryological development. Spencer posited that all structures in the universe develop from a simple, undifferentiated, homogeneity to a complex, differentiated, heterogeneity, while being accompanied by a process of greater integration of the differentiated parts. This evolutionary process could be found at work, Spencer believed, throughout the cosmos. It was a universal law, that was applying to the stars and the galaxies as much as to biological organisms, and to human social organization as much as to the human mind. It differed from other scientific laws only by its greater generality, and the laws of the special sciences could be shown to be illustrations of this principle.
