Dr. Jack's Leadership Lessons Learned From a Lifetime in Basketball (Hardcover)

In Dr. Jack’s Leadership Lessons Learned from a Lifetime in Basketball, Dr. Jack Ramsay shares what he learned about quality leadership from 40 years teaching and coaching basketball. But, Dr. Jack is much more than a basketball coach and teacher. He has also served his country in the Navy in World War II, worked as a respected broadcaster, and has been a competitive athlete himself. And every experience has taught him something about leadership. With a lifetime of sage advice and personal reflections, Dr. Jack offers concrete advice on how to motivate colleagues and subordinates, how to lead by example, how to know when to throw logic out the window and go with a gut instinct, and how to stay true to yourself while developing a leadership style.

Dr. Jack has found success in his life by following a few basic principles, which he shares here. Some of those basic, but profound, principles include the importance of being yourself and being enthusiastic, communicating effectively, taking charge of situations, doing the unexpected, following the rules, and having the will to win. In this book, he finds the crossroads where basketball and business meet and includes conversations with basketball stars such as: Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Dave Bing who have also become successful in business while explaining what works and what doesn’t for leaders of any kind–coaches and CEOs alike.

Dr. Jack Ramsay (Ocean City, NJ, and Naples, FL) is one of the most respected basketball minds of his generation, and one of the most successful coaches in basketball history; when he quit coaching in 1989 his 864 wins were second all-time to the legendary Red Auerbach. He currently works as a pro basketball analyst for ESPN.
