LaVell's Leadership Playbook: The strategy that changed NCAA football. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798999739018)

This is a historical narrative of Utah farm boy LaVell Edwards who transformed Brigham Young University's 50 year losing football record into a national power. In his 29 years at the helm, he posted a record of 257 wins, 101 losses and three Ties(#6 all time at the time of his retirement). Along the way he marked his path with: - 20 conference championships - 22 bowl game appearances - The 1984 NCAA national championship with a record of 13-0. - A victory over the Miami Hurricanes when they were Number One. - The 1997 Cotton Bowl trophy by defeating a highly ranked Kansas State team. LaVell's Leadership Playbook reveals the leadership code he used to transform teams and individuals. These eight principles made the difference: 1. Compete using your unique strengths. 2. Instinctively follow the game plan. 3. Build new, distinctive, and enduring capabilities that others don't have. 4. Solve problems at their source. 5. "Handle" whatever the competition throws at you. 6. Develop true partnerships. 7. Adapt to changes in your world. 8. Never "write off" an individual.
