Description

For 40 years, Dean Smith coached the University of North Carolina basketball team with unsurpassed success. Here, he explains his coaching philosophy and shows readers how to apply it to the leadership and team-building challenges they face in their own lives. In his wry, sensible, wise way, Coach Smith takes us through every aspect of his program, illustrating his insights with vivid stories. Accompanying each of Coach Smith¿s major points is a ¿Player Perspective¿ from a former North Carolina basketball star and an in-depth ¿Business Perspective¿ from Gerald Bell, a world-renowned leadership consultant. The keystones of Coach Smith¿s coaching philosophy are widely applicable to building successful teams of any kind.
