The Pyramid of Success by Coach Jim Harrick with Coach John Wooden
Learn to Compete at the Highest Levels!
Today's leaders are increasingly called upon to be coaches - to "psyche up" their employees and co-workers, to inspire teamwork, and to help their organization outperform the competition. At the same time, they need to inspire and maintain a work/ life balance with their families as well.
In this exciting program, Coach Jim Harrick, head coach of the 1995 NCAA Champion UCLA Bruins, will show you how to maintain focus in all areas of life, and help you develop an attitude that will make you a winner in any endeavor. He'll also discuss the famous "Pyramid of Success" - a timeless blueprint for how to live a meaningful life-with its creator, John Wooden.
As Coach Harrick shares his hard-earned insights, you'll learn how to:
*Foster individual growth within a team framework
*Encourage team members to apply internal standards for excellence
*Remain adaptable and view adversity as a challenge
*Communicate clearly and understand the importance of listening
*Compete with the top players in today's high-pressure world
*Use the provided "action steps" to implement the coaches' principles for an immediate positive impact
Whether or not you're a sports fan, you'll recognize how the philosophies of coaches Harrick and Wooden transcend the world of athletics to provide lessons in any arena.
Legendary college basketball coach John Wooden and Jay Carty know that when it comes down to it, success is an equal opportunity player. Anyone can create it in his or her career, family and beyond. Based on John Wooden’s own method to victory, Coach Wooden’s Pyramid of Success reveals that success is built block by block, where each block is a crucial principle contributing to life-long achievement in every area of life. Each of these 32 daily readings takes an in-depth look at a single block of the pyramid, which when combined with the other blocks forms the structure of the pyramid of success.
Join John Wooden and Jay Carty to discover the building blocks and key values—from confidence to faith—that have brought Coach to the pinnacle of success as a leader, a teacher and a follower of God.
Perhaps the least controversial sports honor in living memory was the selection of John Wooden as "Coach of the Century" by ESPN, honoring his ten NCAA basketball championships in twelve years. His UCLA teams won with quickness and always with class. Wooden was a teacher first and foremost, and his lessons -- taught on the basketball court, but applicable throughout one's life -- are summarized in his famed Pyramid of Success.
An all-city high school player in Los Angeles, Hill played -- a little -- in three national championships, from 1970 to 1972. Hill was upset at how unequally Wooden treated his starting players, and clashed with Wooden over a variety of social political issues.
Hill went on to a successful career in television, rising to the presidency of CBS Productions. And one day, some twenty-five years after graduating from USLA, he realized that everything he knows about getting the best out of his people he had learned directly from Coach John Wooden.
Be Quick -- But Don't Hurry! tells the story of their renewed friendship while sharing the lessons and secrets that hold the key to managing creativity in the idea-driven economy of the twenty first century. Full of sound advice and warm reminiscence, this is the management book of a lifetime.
