Now, a storied career and a Super Bowl victory later, Tony Dungy is sharing his unique leadership philosophy with you.

In The Mentor Leader, Tony reveals what propelled him to the top of his profession and shows how you can apply the same approach to virtually any area of your life. In the process you'll learn the seven keys of mentoring leadership—and why they're so effective; why mentor leadership brings out the best in people; how a mentor leader recovers from mistakes and handles team discipline; and the secret to getting people to follow you and do their best for you without intimidation tactics.

What made the experience of listening to The Mentor Leader the most enjoyable?

The Content

Who was your favorite character and why?

Tony Dungy

Have you listened to any of Tony Dungy’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, this was my first

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Sure, if I had the time to do so

Too much God for my taste

I don't mind the author being religious, but constantly mixing God into a book of good leadership seems a bit of a lapse of judgment. It all got too distracting for me really.

This is a review of the bible

He is only talking about god en jesus. In my opinion it is already difficult to take someone serious who truly believes in god and what is written in the bible, because how can you than really think about and reason all other things in life? But ok, I can give it a try, but if half of all the chapters is about god, jesus and the bible, that is very annoying if you expect a serious story about leadership.
