Summary: Excellent guide
Review: As the CEO of a largish software distributor I have found that USC's head coach's sports based experience is totally transposable to the boardroom. It's all about motivating people to maximise the return they get from their own potential. The art is knowing how best to apply that approach to the individual employee, and John Robinson is right on the money with his advice. If Malcolm from sales fouls up I openly question his sexuality, and have even told him to drop down and give me 20 in the foyer of our building. Yet Clive from personnel reacts better to a more nurturing approach rather than my snapping a wet towel at his rear. Sales are up, the workforce is motivated and I'm a happy man.
