THE CAROLINA WAY Leadership Lessons from a Life in Coaching

The celebrated college basketball coach explains his success in 26 lessons, each followed by the perspectives of former players who express their own views of Smith’s insights and strategies. Smith is a humble genius with as firm a grip on leadership and human relationships as anyone in sports. But the broader value in this work lies in the wisdom of Gerald Bell, a leadership expert and business school professor. After each chapter, his business perspectives offer uncommonly wise summaries of how Smith’s lessons can be used off the basketball court. While staying connected to the theme of each lesson, Dr. Bell offers original insights on personality and group dynamics, along with compelling examples of these principles in a variety of business settings. An unforgettable lesson for leaders in all walks of life. T.W. © AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/ JUL 04]
