If you have seen the NFL Network's series, "A Football Life", you may have seen the 90-min special they did on Bill Walsh. If I could summarize his philosophy it would be that success is the result of attention to detail, every minute detail.finally, a sports book that can make my business more profitable. That said, this book is supposed to be about leadership but it’s more like 70% about football and what a great coach Mr Walsh was and 30% about some basic principles of leadership. The late 49er's coach Bill Walsh and his leadership journey various football leagues are captured and descried inside. The book goes through five parts of Bill Walsh’s strategies as a coach. Truly inspiring story, great leadership lessons! The book is copywrite in 2009 and must have come out shortly after Walsh’s death.
