Synopsis

At the heart of each successful leader, you will find unshakeable principles, core values, driving motivations and inspiring perspectives. The Fellowship of Christian Athletes, built on the values of integrity, team work, serving and excellence, has asked 40 leaders to share their key insights on what makes the greatest leader ever and how they live out those principles on the field, in the arena, in the classroom and at home. Coaches, athletes, sports fans and aspiring leaders will find motivation on every page, in addition to time-tested principles of leadership based on biblical values. And it will answer the question: Who is the greatest leader ever? Contributors Include Kurt Warner, Lance Berkman, Tom Osborne, Andy Pettitte, Jane Albright, Jackie Joyner-Kersee and others. It will also feature leadership success stories about the late John Wooden and Tom Landry, and an inspiring challenge from FCA president and former NFL coach Les Steckel.
