Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bold new theory of leadership drawn from elite captains throughout sports—named one of the best business books of the year by CNBC, The New York Times, Forbes, strategy+business, The Globe and Mail, and Sports Illustrated “The book taught me that there’s no cookie-cutter way to lead. Leading is not just what Hollywood tells you. It’s not the big pregame speech. It’s how you carry yourself every day, how you treat the people around you, who you are as a person.”—Mitchell Trubisky, quarterback, Chicago Bears Now featuring analysis of the five-time Super Bowl champion New England Patriots and their captain, Tom Brady The seventeen most dominant teams in sports history had one thing in common: Each employed the same type of captain—a singular leader with an unconventional set of skills and tendencies. Drawing on original interviews with athletes, general managers, coaches, and team-building experts, Sam Walker identifies the seven core qualities of the Captain Class—from extreme doggedness and emotional control to tactical aggression and the courage to stand apart. Told through riveting accounts of pressure-soaked moments in sports history, The Captain Class will challenge your assumptions of what inspired leadership looks like. Praise for The Captain Class “Wildly entertaining and thought-provoking . . . makes you reexamine long-held beliefs about leadership and the glue that binds winning teams together.”—Theo Epstein, president of baseball operations, Chicago Cubs “If you care about leadership, talent development, or the art of competition, you need to read this immediately.”—Daniel Coyle, author of The Culture Code “The insights in this book are tremendous.”—Bob Myers, general manager, Golden State Warriors “An awesome book . . . I find myself relating a lot to its portrayal of the out-of the-norm leader.”—Carli Lloyd, co-captain, U.S. Soccer Women’s National Team “A great read . . . Sam Walker used data and a systems approach to reach some original and unconventional conclusions about the kinds of leaders that foster enduring success. Most business and leadership books lapse into clichés. This one is fresh.”—Jeff Immelt, chairman and former CEO, General Electric “I can’t tell you how much I loved The Captain Class. It identifies something many people who’ve been around successful teams have felt but were never able to articulate. It has deeply affected my thoughts around how we build our culture.”—Derek Falvey, chief baseball officer, Minnesota Twins

Download or read book The Road to Ruin written by Ronald Runge and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008-07 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It takes three titles for this factualized novel to explain to the American people the why and the wherefore, it is important to defeat this international road, twelve hundred feet wide, running from Mexican ports, through Texas, to Kansas City and Canada. Samuel Huston Warner, a Texas rancher from Frio County, Texas, does so explain. He is riled that Texas intends to take five hundred of his acres, by eminent domain for this road to ruin. He further finds, it is already pre-leased, by the Texas governor, and Texas legislators, to a Spanish corporation, secretly tying the action to an already agreed to, Mexican-American union. Sam forms the Longhorn Brigade to fight these anti-American concepts. His battle against overwhelming odds is the basis for this novel. This trans-national road, using only bureaucratic regulations, and Executive directives disguises true motives from the American people and the American Congress. Using secret, working groups, embedded in the Commerce Department and hidden trilateral agreements, cheap Chinese imports will be transported, unchallenged, into America. This American, European-like Union, will mean the eventual end to our Constitution, and to Americans being self governed. The defeat of this new Burma Road is crucial. Americans must be informed and become aware. That is the "Why?" of this novel. You have a duty to read, to know, and to act.
