Bacon's strategy is straightforward: set high expectations, make them accountable to \u003cem\u003eeach other\u003c\/em\u003e, and inspire them all to lead their team. \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e When John U. Bacon played for the Ann Arbor Huron High School River Rats, he never scored a goal. Yet somehow, years later he found himself leading his alma mater's downtrodden program. How bad? The team hadn't won a game in over a year, making them the nation's worst squad--a fact they celebrated. With almost everyone expecting more failure, Bacon made it special to play for Huron by making it \u003cem\u003ehard\u003c\/em\u003e, which inspired the players to excel. Then he defied conventional wisdom again by putting the \u003cem\u003eplayers \u003c\/em\u003ein charge of team discipline, goal-setting, and even decision-making - and it worked. In just three seasons the River Rats bypassed 95-percent of the nation's teams. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A true story filled with unforgettable characters, stories, and lessons that apply to organizations everywhere, \u003cem\u003eLet Them Lead\u003c\/em\u003e includes the leader's mistakes and the reactions of the players, who have since achieved great success as leaders themselves. \u003cem\u003eLet Them Lead\u003c\/em\u003e is a fast-paced, feel-good book that leaders of all kinds can embrace to motivate their teams to work harder, work together, and take responsibility for their own success.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John U.
