What It Takes to Be #1 : Vince Lombardi on Leadership

This is an excellent book on leadership and the value of hard work and discipline, the corner stones of success. It also provides an intimate look at the man who defined winning. There are a lot of great quotes and thoughts in this book, whether you're looking for your own personal motivation or you are a manager looking to motivate your team, there is something for everyone. Now Vince Lombardi's ideas of motivation and the approach he takes to motivating people will not be for everyone.Vince Lombardi believed in healthy competition and pushing people to get the best out of them. In today's PC world everyone is a delicate snowflake and must be treated as such... not so much, either you performed or you were out, that is the Lombardi style. This book also forces you to think about yourself and what your actions say about you and what image you are creating of yourself.What do you want to be remembered?What will outlast you?What will continue after you are gone?I suggest reading this book with a pen and paper handy, there are so many great lines like the ones above. Also this isn't a book you will sit down and read right though, it's best to read it a chapter at a time and then reflect on the ideas presented.

To learn how it was done by "The" Vince Lombardi is such a huge empowerment that words can't describe the feeling. My brain is going a million miles an hour figuring out ways to incorporate what I've learned in this book into my business!!!

Leadership at it’s finest! Vince Lombardi represents what it truly means to lead by succeeding with morals and values and most importantly, making sure winning is a habit!

Product arrived as I expected.

I bought this book as a gift for my husband and he loves it. Vince Lombardi's son wrote it and he includes many of his dad's leadership principles. Great book for young men who are trying to develop leadership skills.

Read this in an evening, very easy read and applicable to life. Lombardi was a great man and to see what made him tick seems obtainable for anyone willing to put in the work.

I have always loved the game of American Football but I was not old enough to ever have the enjoyment of watching a Vince Lombardi team play the game. This account of his leadership, told by his own son, took me into the locker room and on the sideline of those early football battles. A great mix of football history and modern day leadership ideals. Great for anyone who wants to learn more about how to be a great leader.

Excellent book and recommend for anyone on their journey. You don't need to be a manager to be a leader. It's not how you start, it's how you finish.
