Leading with the Heart

By: Mike Krzyzewski, Donald T. Phillips

Narrated by: Mike Krzyzewski

In sports, business, and life, there is no better model for success than the Duke University basketball program. With eight Final Four appearances since 1986, including back-to-back national championships in '91 and '92, Duke has done it the right way: combined athletic competitiveness with academic achievement, total effort, and personal integrity...and all of that thanks to Coach Mike Krzyzewski, affectionately known as "Coach K."

Now Coach K. reveals his personal principles for leadership, from dealing with adversity in life or on the basketball court, to taking responsibility for your actions and learning how to trust your heartfelt instincts in times of trouble. The result is a book that shows how you can be successful in any leadership challenges you face. An inspiring look into the life, heart, and mind of an extraordinary leader, Leading with the Heart is about bringing out the best and demanding the best, from ourselves, from those around us, and from any organization that is playing to win.

What did you love best about Leading with the Heart?

Great insight into the viewpoints of Coach K. He shares his leadership and coaching approaches to the game and to life. I enjoyed listening to Coach K read his own book and it is encouraging to those who lead any kind of team or company.

Another go around!!!

I’ve read this book before every basketball season since 2003. This audio version with Coach K narrating gave it a different feel. I really enjoyed it. This book is a must read when looking for a key to unlock teamwork.

How much love plays into leadership

Uplifting and great for coaches who are trying to get through to his/her players

great coach great knowledge great individual

I think the book states keep principal to leave people that work it for Coach k it's an okay Business book it's a little bit better if you want some basketball with them the only thing it lacks are more stories of how he applied more of his knowledge and he's waiting formula

Life

I liked that he got very inspirational. He also talked about leadership. Things are good or bad.

Amazing book

Great message, great performance and now I feel motivated to not focus on success but on building up others. I realize my folly and where I've gone wrong. I highly recommend this book

A true inspiration and leader by example

We can all learn a lot from his experiences and outlook on life. I wish I was exposed to this sooner. It should be required reading in high schools across the globe

Could Have Been Better

Considering the great accomplishments of his career and life I was expecting a much more inspirational and insightful book. Pretty high level and basic. Too bad. I would rate 2 out of 5 stars.
