Red’s singular gift, however, was his uncanny ability to manage grown men and get them to come together with a common mission. He didn’t use sophisticated motivational techniques; he was just straightforward and honest. Unlike many coaches, he didn’t interfere in players’ personal lives unless they were up to something that would have a negative effect on the team. Inspired Dennis Rodman and other 'uncoachable' personalities to devote themselves to something larger than themselves Most players are used to letting their coach think for them. When they run into a problem on the court, they look nervously over at the sidelines expecting coach to come up with an answer. Many coaches will gladly accommodate them. Bot not me. I’ve always been interested in getting players to think for themselves so that they can make difficult decisions in the heat of battle.” Even as an adult, I’ve been known to act out on occasion. Once, after a particularly embarrassing loss to Orlando in the playoffs, I shaved off most of my hair and stomped around the room for nearly an hour until the anger subsided. We got off to a roaring start, winning twenty-one of our first twenty-five games, and by the time we faced the Celtics at home on Christmas, we were a far more spirited team than we’d been during the previous year’s playoffs. We were playing the game the way the “basketball gods” had ordained: reading defenses on the move and reacting in unison like a finely tuned jazz combo. These new Lakers beat the Celtics handily, 92–83, and then danced through the season to the best record in the Western Conference (65-17).

LIbro que mezcla la parte biográfica deportiva del autor y sus conceptos de como se debe gestionar un grupo lleno de líderes y egos, punto igual de importante para el autor que la propia gestión deportiva.Sometimes the best thing you can do as a leader is to get out of the way and let players and team members figure things out for themselves. Developing autonomy is a crucial leadership skill and can not be done by always hand-holding team members. The best way of coping with them instead is to become an active participant in them. Instead of only seeking gain and happiness, we must accept losses as well.

Eleven Rings: The Soul of Success by Phil Jackson | Goodreads

Thankfully, due to the power of the elven rings and their bearers, this flaw was realized the moment Sauron put on his ring for the first time, creating a window for the bearers to see into his intentions to rule them and all that was theirs. They solved this problem quite easily by simply taking the rings off. Once the spotlight turned on the Bulls, the team started vying for more attention and some players started getting jealous of Michael Jordan’s fame and media attention.Another aspect of Buddhist teachings that has influenced me is the emphasis on openness and freedom. The Zen teacher Shunryu Suzuki likened the mind to a cow in a pasture. If you enclose the cow in a small yard, it will become nervous and frustrated and start eating the neighbor’s grass. But if you give it a large pasture to roam around in, it will be more content and less likely to break loose. For me, this approach to mental discipline has been enormously refreshing, compared to the restricted way of thinking ingrained in me as a child.

The Keepers of the Three Rings, or Three Keepers, included Gandalf, Galadriel, Elrond (and formerly Círdan and Gil-galad). They were the bearers of the three Elvish Rings of Power. Simon Sinek similarly says that when there’s internal accord and supportive leadership then the tribe can focus on beating the external enemies ( Leaders Eat Last). Chapter 10: WORLD IN FLUX Red was a master of simplicity. He didn’t espouse any particular system, nor did he stay up all night inventing plays. What he believed in was playing the game the right way, which to him meant moving the ball on offense and playing intense team defense. Red learned the game in the pre–jump shot era when five-man ball movement was far more prevalent than one-on-one creativity. He had two simple rules, which he shouted from the sidelines during every game:Once when the Bulls were getting on the team bus after a close come-from-behind win, my trainer Chip Schaefer said he wished we could bottle that late-game energy like a magic potion so we could bring it out whenever we needed it. That’s a nice idea, but what I’ve learned is that the forces that join people harmoniously aren’t that clear-cut. They can’t be manufactured at will, though you can do your best to create the conditions that will promote that sort of transformation—very similar to what my parents tried to do every Sunday in church. The finale of Rings of Power’s first season dramatizes the forging of the three elven Rings of Power in succinct fashion. A bit of mithril, a bit of Valnorian gold and silver, a few gems, and boom: You’ve got Vilya, Nenya, and Narya, the legendary artifacts themselves. Reading that list, it’s a lot to do with emotional intelligence (read Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman). Chapter 20: DESTINY’S CHILDREN Le doy 5 estrellas porque como fan del baloncesto y especialmente de los Lakers, este libro me hizo recordar algunos momentos de gloria que tuvo el equipo en sus campeonatos, así como conocer parte de la historia que desconocía, el ver la trayectoria de Jordan pero especialmente la de Kobe y ver que en sus inicios era un Kobe, inmaduro, arrogante y con mucho ego muy diferente al que conocí en el 2008 el cual trabajaba en equipo y con una mentalidad madura, muy diferente a sus inicios. También me causa nostalgia recordarlo a través de este libro.

A few more specific examples of players’ rebellions and how he handled the specific situations would have been nice (The Power Moves is all about specific situations and examples, which I believe are the best way to learn). Review Heider, whose book is based on Lao-tzu's Tao Te Ching, suggests that leaders practice becoming more open. "The wise leader is of service: receptive, yielding, following. The group member's vibration dominates the lead, while the leader follows. But soon it is the member's consciousness which is transformed, the member's vibration which is resolved." The author holds a master's degree from La Sapienza, department of communication and sociological research, and is a member of the American Psychology Association (APA). Phil says the circle of love is the secret sauce that takes teams from a bunch of individuals to a cohesive winning teams. Instead, the key to a successful run is to keep growing into the unknown and evolving. Chapter 18: THE WISDOM OF ANGERI love the way he ended the book—I won’t share it here but I thought it was poignant and meaningful. The triangle was hard to play against and to prepare against because, well… Not even the players themselves knew what was going to happen. Depersonalize criticism A great challenge for coaches is to stop the players who dislike them from corrupting the rest and undermining the team’s chemistry. Then, as the grass grows toward the sun, the players would sprout towards the coach in devotion. Finding Courage: The Winning Team Secret
