Leading with the Heart by Mike Krzyzewski was a great read. The book talks about strategies to make you successful in basketball, business, and life. Throughout the book Coach K talks about leadership. He goes into great detail about how to earn it, how to practice it, and how you use it to move your organization to the top. From the importance of trust, communication, and pride to the commitment a leader must make to his team. This book is a must read for everyone in the education profession. If you want to learn how to help young people to be successful this book can be your guide.
I originally thought this book was just about basketball, but it is more about life than basketball. It uses basketball as the platform to teach simple strategies that will enable you to be a successful person. I enjoyed the book and have carried what I learned into my classroom.
