Book Reviews of Bo's Lasting Lessons: The Legendary Coach Teaches the Timeless Fundamentals of Leadership
Book Review: Breaking it Down
Summary: 5 Stars
For anyone who loves Michigan and Michigan football, this book will be a welcome reminder of some great years (and a couple not-so-great). For anyone who has listened to Bo speak (and with YouTube, I guess that can be all of us), you will hear his voice in these words. And for anyone in a position to be a leader or to work with a team of individuals attempting to achieve something of value, reading this is going to make you smile (and probably pump you up a bit).
This book is what I imagine Bo was like: simple and straightforward in it's delivery but profound in what it attempts to teach. We've heard some of these things before: Do the right thing, Do it for the right reasons, Do it for the team; but Bo has a way of using examples from his own experience that provide unique perspective. And his expectations never wavered, not for himself or for any of his players. I love the story about calling a former player at 5pm on Friday and then admonishing him for leaving early to beat traffic to the shore (you're not one of THOSE guys!).
And finally, the remembrances from the former players are terrific, a real confirmation that Bo walked the talk his whole life. I'm sure a lot of those guys hated him when they were 18 or 19 and getting their butts handed to them on a daily basis, but I bet you couldn't find a single player today who doesn't look back and recognize that Bo knew they had more to give than they ever realized, and helped them understand what it takes to be a champion.
This is good stuff!

Summary of Bo's Lasting Lessons: The Legendary Coach Teaches the Timeless Fundamentals of Leadership
During his record-setting tenure as coach of the Michigan Wolverines, Bo won thirteen Big Ten titles and finished as the winningest football coach in the school's storied history. But if you asked him, his most important achievement was having a remarkably positive impact on the hundreds of athletes he coached. In these pages, you'll hear Bo's distinctive voice as he shares the principles he applied on the football field and in the locker room to create a football dynasty, and he'll tell you how you can apply his insights to any leadership role. His words will educate, motivate, and inspire-just as the man himself did every day.Leadership Books
