Even when you traffic mostly in clothes and shoes, sometimes there's a sports-related leadership book that you can't resist putting on the shelf. This one collects the wisdom of legendary San Francisco 49ers coach Bill Walsh, who turned the league's worst team into a powerhouse and lived to tell the tale. And it's not just for football fans. From the publisher: “The last lecture on leadership by the NFL's greatest coach will inspire, inform, and enlighten leaders in all professions. Bill Walsh was a towering figure in the history of the NFL. His advanced leadership transformed the San Francisco 49ers from the worst franchise in sports to a legendary dynasty. In the process, he changed the way football is played. Walsh taught that the requirements of successful leadership are the same whether you run an NFL franchise, a fortune 500 company, or a hardware store with 12 employees. Prior to his death, Walsh granted a series of exclusive interviews to bestselling author Steve Jamison. These final words of 'wisdom by Walsh' became his ultimate lecture on leadership. Additional insights and perspectives are provided by Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Montana and others.”
