Fine unread condition dark blue boards, black spine, and silver spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes Authors' Dedications; Foreword; Preface; Acknowledgments; Appendix: Diary of a Super Bowl Team and Index. Signed and inscribed by co-author Brian Billick, with blue pen on the blank first free front endpaper. "Brian Billick is an incredible leader. He proved it by guiding his team, against all odds, on their amazing run to victory in the Super Bowl. In Competitive Leadership, he has provided a powerful professional and personal tool for the individual to develop his or her own leadership style. With his characteristic bluntness, clarity, and self deprecating humor, he shares key principles of effective leadership that can be applied to any competitive situation. Competitive Leadership is an entertaining, inspiring, and important book. I wholeheartedly recommend it for anyone wishing to develop personal leadership goals." - Jim Fassel, head coach, New York Giants. "Results are the truest measure of an outstanding leader, and Brian Billick's leadership style, especially his straight talk and his ability to bring people together around a common goal, ensures that his teams will produce outstanding results for a long time to come. We can all learn a great deal from Brian's book, Competitive Leadership." - Ed Walsh, senior vice president, human resources, Campbell Soup Co. "The leadership skills Brian Billick displayed in guiding the Ravens to a Super Bowl victory are described clearly, cogently, and convincingly, as well as with style and humor, in Competitive Leadership. If there was a Super Bowl for business books, Brian Billick would deserve another ring for this one." - Roxanne Spillett, president, Boys and Girls Clubs of America. "It's not about being a perfect leader. It's about being effective in the way you draw the best from yourself and your team." - Brian Billick. "Brian Billick, who guided the Baltimore Ravens to victory in Super Bowl XXXV in only his second year as head coach, has quickly earned a reputation as one of the best leaders and motivators in the ranks of the NFL. Creating what many football observers consider the NFL's all-time best defense, he led his team to football's Holy Grail against long odds and a tough series of adversaries. But Competitive Leadership is not a book about football. Rather, it is a tool for those who aspire to reach difficult goals in their own lives. Brian Billick has shared his 12 personal principles for building effective leadership skills - skills that took him to the top in football and that can lift you to the top in any situation. Billick will teach you how to use these principles in order to become an effective leader at all times, rather than a perfect leader in isolated situations. Competitive Leadership also shares coach Billick's championship-season diary, including weekly entries through the Super Bowl season. Readers can discover for themselves how Billick applied his own principles in order to achieve his remarkable goal - a Super Bowl victory. Filled with revealing anecdotes that illustrate each of Billick's principles, Competitive Leadership will share this successful coach's views on: How to deal with change and unanticipated problems; The value of independent thinking; How to create your own opportunities; The importance of lifelong learning; How to inspire confidence in yourself and others. Competitive Leadership will be an invaluable resource for business executives who want to focus and energize their employees, team members who want to be more effective contributors to their organizations, and anyone who wants to improve their leadership skills. With this unique learning tool, you'll see results - the truest measure of an effective leader." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.…

Store description
Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
