C. THE LOMBARDI RULES by Vince Lombardi Jr. is a
short but powerful book that has a lot of information in it that can be
used by coaches, business executives and just about anybody else
looking to succeed in todays world.
The author, whose father led the Green Bay Packers to five NFL
titles in seven years, compiled several of Lombardis most
famous quotes for example:
I would say that the quality of each mans life is the full measure
of that mans personal commitment to excellence and to victory--whether
it be football, whether it be business, whether it be politics or
government.
He then transformed the quote into a rule, such as: Be
Completely Committed . . . and after a brief discussion
of what it meant, Lombardi Jr. showed various techniques
to implement the rule in any organization.
In the case of how to up the "commitment quotient," he
suggested:
Start with yourself: Inspire those around you with your own level
of commitment. When leaders go the extra mile, their troops will
follow.
Talent only gets you so far: A person with 100 percent ability
and 50 percent commitment can throw a wrench into the whole
system through inattention, inconsistency and laziness.
Weed out the uncommitted: The organization that wins is
populated by winners. Weed out the uncommitted and get
the last 10 percent out of everyone.
A cute cartoon that accompanied each chapter also added
to my enjoyment of THE LOMBARDI RULES.
Great book for employees, employers, players and coaches.

"The Lombardi code is founded on the belief that you can only become a leader after developing your character-that is, after building integrity, honesty, and commitment. The way to develop these attributes is through self-knowledge. You cant improve what you dont understand.....The first steps on the road to self-knowledge involve asking ourselves the tough questions."
