LEADING WITH THE HEART chronicles Coach K's background in a Polish Chicago neighborhood, where he was guided by parents who demanded honesty and integrity. From his days at the U.S. Military Academy playing under Coach Bobby Knight, Krzyzewski first learned that coaching meant more than showing players what to do and how to do it. It meant building an emotional bond of trust that gives his players the confidence and freedom to succeed both on and off the court. From his tenure as the Duke head coach, Coach K illustrates his leadership insights and shows you how to:

• Summon the courage to endure adversity and critics--follow through with your plans and commitments, even when everyone else is saying you can't do it.
• Learn how to think on your feet--a leader has to come in with a great game plan but must know when to improvise and make adjustments.
• Take responsibility for how your team performs--if you're a stickler for excellence, then winning will be a natural by-product.
• Give your players time and attention--commit to giving them 100 percent of your focus and they'll commit 100 percent of their effort.
