Athletics to Business applications

Great audio book. The principles used by Urban Meyer are well thought out and tested with his players. Most all of them would be applicable to the business setting from the 10/80/10 rule to the behavior exhibited by Above the Line employees. I learned a lot and have given a book to each of my 8 product management employees so they can learn the same qualities needed for successful leadership. Great book!

Excellent

this is definitely my favorite leadership Business book of all time, and I'm not even a Buckeye fan!

Great Read

This book is a must for any leader who is building, or leading a high performance culture. The concepts are immediately applicable to any culture.

Not just for sport fans

I'm a health coach but a coach nonetheless. There are great lessons that can be applied to any field of work in this book.
