This book offers insights from sports, health care, business and
government to help leaders get better outcomes. Here are some
comments from experts in the field: Paul Levy, who managed the
cleanup of Boston Harbor and became the nation's most acclaimed
hospital CEO, is a leader of uncommon skill and breadth. In Goal
Play , he offers powerful lessons in leadership by drawing on
experiences ranging from coaching girls' soccer to managing the
aftermath of catastrophic medical mistakes. How should a top
executive communicate with front line staff, and with the outside
world? How can a manager nurture great teams while celebrating
superstars? How should a leader react when things go wrong... and
right? After reading this insightful, unblinkingly honest, and
extremely readable book, you'll have the answers you need to be a
more effective mentor, coach, and leader. (Robert Wachter,
Professor of Medicine, USCF) Paul Levy's book is a must read for
any CEO who recognizes that the traditional hierarchical approach
to leading an organization in the complexity of our times will not
deliver sustained success and would like to consider another
approach. Paul's book is also a great read for young leaders who
want guidance as they attempt to master the challenges of
leadership in times like these that are charged with volatility,
complexity, uncertainty and ambiguity. Paul's advice and wisdom are
served up intertwined with the metaphor of the complexities of
soccer and the lessons learned by an experienced coach who has also
had a remarkable career as a creative leader of large complex
organizations with problems that threatened them with failure.
(Eugene Lindsey, CEO of Atrius Health) Paul Levy offers insightful
lessons in leadership, cleverly weaving in delightfully up-lifting
experiences from his years on the touchline to frame his powerful
message. These light hearted stories, plucked from the diary of a
soccer coach, offer the executive interested in any expanding their
leadership skills a chalkboard full of sound "drills." (Bill
Taylor, General Manager, Four Season Hotel, Boston) Time is
extremely precious - only more so when you're out trying to change
the world. This book is a good use of that precious time - offering
hard won insight into how we can nurture the leader in ourselves -
and as importantly in those around us. Learning from what hasn't
worked is as critical to that end as what has, and Paul offers
inspiring - even entertaining - perspectives culled from the soccer
field. It takes a certain amount of bravery to admit that we could
stand to improve our own leadership styles, but as Paul's words
(and actions) have shown, when it comes to leadership, bravery is
the greatest gift we can give ourselves and those around us.
(Alexandra Drane, Eliza Corporation) In a day and age where
'leader' is a title appropriated by tin pot despots and
self-serving egotists, Paul Levy's story of servant leadership
needs to be digested and considered. No industry more than health
care stands in the messy intersection of public policy, academic
debate, and business interest. In short, clear prose, Levy shows us
how a real leader can stand in the midst of those tempestuous seas,
and lead. A must read. (Jeff Swartz, former CEO, Timberland) Levy's
metaphorical soccer book on business management provides those of
us in leadership positions an opportunity to hit the reset button,
while we assess our own effectiveness in today's ever changing
world. (Roger Berkowitz, CEO, Legal Seafoods) Paul's book gives
very powerful, very human, and very practical insights on how
leaders can unlock amazing potential that all employees have.
Anyone who reads this book will feel inspired to lead and learn.
(Boris Levin, President, NP Medical)
