Nothing against bibles but this book is more about the pyramid of success & a bible explanation of it. NOT WHAT I WAS EXPECTING.

Story
Half an audiobook on basketball, half an audiobook on management techniques, The Gold Standard captures Coach K's personal style and approach to getting different (and sometimes difficult) people to work hard and succeed in reaching a common goal. "In all forms of leadership, whether you are a coach, a CEO, or a parent, there are four words that, when said, can bring out the best in your team, your employees, and your family...I believe in you. These four words can mean the difference between a fear of failure and the courage to try".

Great story

By reading this book, you become the shadow of Pat & you are allowed into her thought process from a little girl until her final years. As a coach, I would of liked a practice sample but maybe it's in another book.

Where does Leading rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Best book about What? How? & Why? did he do the things that he did.
What did you like best about this story?
He explains the What? How? & Why?
What does James Macpherson and Simon Slater bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Seems like Sir Alex is reading it.
What did you learn from Leading that you would use in your daily life?
Have a clear objective and tough decisions will be tough but they will be clear.
Any additional comments?
A must read
