Product Description
A Wall Street Journal Bestseller A compelling look inside the mind and powerful leadership methods of America’s coaching legend, John Wooden "Team spirit, loyalty, enthusiasm, determination. . . . Acquire and keep these traits and success should follow."
--Coach John Wooden John Wooden’s goal in 41 years of coaching never changed; namely, to get maximum effort and peak performance from each of his players in the manner that best served the team. Wooden on Leadership explains step-by-step how he pursued and accomplished this goal. Focusing on Wooden’s 12 Lessons in Leadership and his acclaimed Pyramid of Success, it outlines the mental, emotional, and physical qualities essential to building a winning organization, and shows you how to develop the skill, confidence, and competitive fire to “be at your best when your best is needed”--and teach your organization to do the same. Praise for Wooden on Leadership: “What an all-encompassing Pyramid of Success for leadership! Coach Wooden’s moral authority and brilliant definition of success encompass all of life. How I admire his life’s work and concept of what it really means to win!”
--Stephen R. Covey, author, The 7 Habits of Highly Successful People and The 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to Greatness “Wooden On Leadership offers valuable lessons no matter what your endeavor. 'Competitive Greatness' is our goal and that of any successful organization. Coach Wooden’s Pyramid of Success is where it all starts.”
--Jim Sinegal, president & CEO, Costco

 Wooden Leadership Review July 8, 2010
E. Paredes

Amazing man, amazing book June 27, 2010
J. Cole
After reading this book, it is clear to me all that it takes to be a leader. It brings to light so much more than most people think. I believe that all of his topics and ideas are essential to be a leader if to varying degrees. Obviously not all of his ideas and tactics are useful to every organization, however the foundation of ideas and values he lays down are powerful tools to the modern leader in all situations.
Lessons From A True Master Of Leadership. May 28, 2010
John Halloran (San Juan, Puerto Rico)
Simple fundamental truths that can be applied by anyone with the hard work gene.
John Wooden's pyramid of success is a very simple system for improving results. The system includes:
Competitive Greatness
Poise - Confidence
Condition - Skill - Team
Self-Control - Alertness - Initiative - intentness
Industriousness- Friendship - Loyalty - cooperation
The book is written very simply and the system is one that anyone can follow. I have been using it for 7 years and results constantly improve due to the emphasis the book places on daily practice.
A great book for anyone interested in hard work and the service of others.
Favorite quote in this book - "Intensity makes you stronger. Emotionalism makes you weaker. "
290 pages -very easy read, even after the 5th time.
$22.95 USD and worth $25000 if you take it to heart.

Wooden's Legacies March 20, 2010
John Hogan (Phoenix AZ USA)
The word "dynasty" is seldom used in contemporary time, but John Wooden created two in his career. One was as coach of the UCLA men's basketball team, where the teams won 10 national championships in 12 years, including four perfect seasons and 88 consecutive victories. The other was achieved as a leader who inspired and developed outstanding talent and character among the hundreds of student athletes, coaches and others who were involved on those teams.
This book shares with readers Wooden's 15 Fundamental Leadership Qualities and includes many of his best observations from teamwork to focus to dealing with defeat. In the foreword, former player and obvious admirer Bill Walton says this book is "Wooden's blueprint for achieving success as a leader in business, basketball or anything else."
John Wooden is approaching his 100th birthday as I share my observations and he certainly has left his legacy.
John Hogan, March 2010
