We read this as a group at work, which was super fun. Filled with great stories about mentor ship. I came to this book knowing nothing about who Tony Dungy was, turns out he's a totally stand-up dude.

Tony Dungy is about as humble and loving a celebrity as I believe anyone can come across. As someone who lives in Indy, I know quite a few people who either know him or have had chance encounters with him and they all share how gentle and kind he is. When I knew I wanted to read a book about leadership, I knew a book by Tony Dungy would be a great place to start!

Tony Dungy shares his knowledge of leadership and mixes it with mentorship...two ideas that haven't necessarily been put together before. But it's a FANTASTIC idea! Mentor leadership includes a lot of listening, modeling and leading by example. Throw in a bunch of football memories and biblical reference and you've got a fun, interesting, inspirational book about leadership that I highly recommend.

Really took me awhile to finish this because I’m not a huge fan of leadership, success, or “how-to” books. Couple of things I didn’t like: 1) quotes at the beginning of every chapter 2) the book was highly repetitive and didn’t give a lot of details on certain anecdotes which would have been helpful in understanding some of the examples better.

So fare so good....what I do find amazing is how similar life is to playing/coaching a game of football. Being in the Military I have always struggled with be what I considered a "Good Leader" so I picked this up with the hopes of finding some inspiration in his words. And I have.

I'm not that much into football but still a great book on leadership. It's the kind of book that you're going to want to read with a highlighter in hand. I took a lot of notes while reading it.

1. You can use this book to talk to people of the Christian faith about why they should want to continuously improve themselves 
2. He seems like a good man who practices what he preaches 

1. There are no research based tips here - it’s all based on personal experience 
2. There was no new or practical information for me to learn. It’s basic Sunday school material: care about others more than yourself. Behave with integrity of character. Engage with people so you know who they are and how to take care of them. 
3. This book could be off putting to a non Christian reader 
4. It rehashed constantly. This could have been a 50 page book easily. Then I wouldn’t feel like it was such a waste of my time to read it. 

It was interesting to listen to this book and hear Tony Dungy. He didn’t really share any profound leadership insights. But it was a good summary of his style and history.

A good foundational book about mentor leadership but nothing earth shattering. I love finding Market Based Management (Yay [b:Good Profit: How Creating Value for Others Built One of the World's Most Successful Companies|25058203|Good Profit How Creating Value for Others Built One of the World's Most Successful Companies|Charles G. Koch|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1444622832s/25058203.jpg|44740134]!) in other works. A lot of the content here is solid.
However, none of it felt particularly applicable outside of coaching. It was a lot of good ideas but little concrete action. The writing was easy but repetitive. The book could have been much shorter.
I would recommend to football fans but for the less sporty among us (aka...me) there are too many references to athletes. Tony Dungy mentions his career as if it should be common knowledge to the reader...which for me, wasn't a thing.
