Prologue
                 xvi
                          How you accomplish that—at least, how I approached
                        leadership—is the subject of this book.
                          It was a privilege to have been in a leadership position for 40
                        years. I miss the excitement of being on that practice court work-
                        ing hard with our team in pursuit of Competitive Greatness—
                        “being at your best when your best is needed.” To me, that is the
                        most exciting part of being a leader: the journey to become the best
                        of which you and your team are capable.
                          I miss the joys of that journey very much but take comfort in the
                        fact that this book may provide some ideas useful in your own lead-
                        ership journey. If it does, I’ll be very pleased. I offer you best wishes
                        all along the way.

                                                                  Coach John Wooden
