The author of several books about leadership, Phillips (Martin Luther King, Jr. on Leadership, etc.) offers an absorbing and practical examination of famed football coach Vince Lombardi's strategies for success and how they can be applied to the business world. A short biography of the coach gives a sense of the source of Lombardi's style his father was a strict disciplinarian who advocated respect and duty above all else. As an athlete, Lombardi, who died in 1970, was accomplished at several sports but his first love was always football. He began his coaching career under Red Blaik at West Point, where he perfected his discipline. By the end of his life, he could take credit for nine successive playoff victories and two Super Bowl triumphs. What made Lombardi so successful? Phillips answers this question with detailed anecdotes from the coach's colleagues and players, along with chapter summaries highlighting "Lombardi Principles." Among these precepts are "Demonstrate your commitment to equality through your actions as well as your words," "Expect full cooperation from your superiors, and give full cooperation in return" and "Remember that all talent is founded on fundamentals and that fundamentals win it." Though seasoned executives may find some of the insights self-evident, less experienced managers should find them useful, especially if they're already familiar with Lombardi and his unique style.

The ultimate compliment paid to Vince Lombardi was by former Green Bay Packers guard : "We knew that the only difference between being a good football team and a great football team was him and only him." Phillips, an authority on leadership (see, e.g., The Founding Fathers on Leadership, LJ 1/90), does not offer a sports biography like David Maraniss's When Pride Still Mattered: A Life of Vince Lombardi (LJ 8/99). Instead, in straightforward, practical, no-nonsense prose, he clearly explains how Lombardi's coaching style can be utilized in today's business environment. The result is more useful than many such guides drawn from the philosophies or teachings of nonbusiness figures. Recommended for most libraries. Larry R.

In his book, Run To Win: Vince Lombardi on Coaching and Leadership, Phillips combines biography with commentary to demonstrate the foundational impact that Vince Lombardi had on the Green Bay Packers and on professional football. Vince Lombardi is a man whom many consider to be "the greatest football coach in the history of the sport...being both a household name and an icon."

Phillips divides the book into four categories: Starting Out, Building Trust, Routine, and Character. One of the things that I love about Phillips style is that he gives great real-life content. Every chapter is full of snapshots of Lombardi's life. Phillips has really done his homework, even going as far as getting the endorsement of the daughter of Pete Rozelle, Anne Marie Rozelle Bratton and Lombardi's son, Vince Lombardi, Jr.

A good read; the chapter summaries on "the Lombardi Way" start to sound overly repetitive from the chapter text, but other than that there was some good info here. I've followed Lombardi beginning in the '60s and thought I'd heard everything there was to hear about him. This book however had several interesting insights I'd never come across before. asked assistant coach ball bardi began Bill Curry block called championship game Chuck Mercein Coach Lombardi Cowboys Dallas discipline drill drive Emlen Tunnell emotions everything feel field goal football coach football players football team Fordham Frank Gifford front going Green Bay Packers guys head coach heart Hecker hell hurts individual Jerry Kramer knew Landry leader leadership linebacker locker room Lombardi Principles look lose Max McGee mental morning never NFL championship offensive once opponent Packer players pass Paul Hornung percent play practice quarterback recalled Red Blaik remembered rookie run to daylight running back screamed season sidelines success Super Bowl tackle talk tell things told took touchdown tough training camp veteran Vince Lombardi Vince's walked week Willie Davis yelled York Giants

Donald T. Phillips is the internationally acclaimed author of several bestselling books on leadership, including those on Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Founding Fathers. Most notably, his book Lincoln on Leadership has been translated into seven languages. A civic leader himself, Phillips currently serves as mayor of Fairview, Texas.

For me an outstanding insight into the most recognisable coach that has lived in professional sport. I first learned of Lombardi when studying in Year 10 (10th Grade) Physical Education class and how much this guy loves to win and must win at everything. (very much like myself!) I was instantly drawn to learn more but did not at the time, only to by utter chance when I heard someone mention something he had once said, decided to find this quote and then I stumbled on the book! all of 10 years later!

The writers descriptions are so vivid and captivating and Vince being a real and normal man proved that a willingness to want to be better for yourself and those around you and caring for others can lead you to touch and motivate people in ways perhaps even you did not expect. Having played professional sport myself I understood the anxiety and sometimes the mundanity and repetition it takes to win but Vince has highlighted to me the standard that all Managers, Coaches or heads of anything should aspire is to follow in line with what he gave up to touch all who knew him!

Then the chapter breaks into a story by one of Lombardi's players, Forrest Gregg, about the first practice that Lombardi had with the Green Bay Packers. Coaches in the past had let certain slackers slide and loaf through practice, but not Vince. When one of the receivers, who had a history of taking it easy, didn't run a route to Lombardi's liking, the coach was in his face all the way back to the huddle.

Phillips does a good job of summing up each chapter at the end by including a box entitled: Lombardi Principles. Phillips has tremendous insight as to what makes for good leadership practice and does a great job of pulling practical, transferable, wisdom from Lombardi's life. For example, at the end of the chapter entitled, Keep Things Simple, the Lombardi principles include:

I enjoyed the book's honesty. What I mean by that is you saw a clear picture of Lombardi - both on and off the field, the good and the bad, the good times and the bad times. Lombardi was far from perfect, and over time, the memory of Lombardi's stature can become more myth than reality. Phillips does a good job of showing us the areas where Lombardi struggled and the demons he wrestled with. He had a ferocious temper, he would often rub people the wrong way, he was abrasive, and he wore his emotions on his sleeve. But Lombardi was always quick to apologize whenever he realized that his darker side had gotten the best of him.

Most young people today don't have the privilege to have seen Lombardi coach, to see him win Super Bowls, to recognize his impact on the NFL. Phillips has given us a wonderful glimpse into the life of a special man who exemplified tremendous leadership in his field (and on his field for that matter).

The Green Bay Packers had a proud history. They were one of the thirteen original franchises in the National Football League's first season of 1921. And they were the only small-town team to survive the Great Depression of the 1930s. Founded and coached by Earl "Curly" Lambeau, who played at Notre Dame under Knute Rockne, the early Packers were known for their successful implementation of the forward pass—and for their winning ways.

But after World War II the team fell on hard times. And by 1958 they had become an NFL joke. The Packers were a laughingstock, acknowledged as the worst team in the league. NFL players referred to Green Bay as "Siberia" and feared being traded there. College seniors prayed they wouldn't be drafted by the Packers. http://edufb.net/2635.pdf http://edufb.net/3049.pdf http://edufb.net/1732.pdf
