520 8 |a You'll learn how to prepare for every business meeting the way Larry Bird prepared for every game; how to revitalize a slumping company the way owner Mark Cuban transformed the Dallas Mavericks; and how to demonstrate trust in your colleagues the way. Michael Jordan showed confidence in his teammates. You'll also learn how retired athletes such as Magic Johnson, Bill Bradley, and Billy Cunningham handled difficult transitions into new careers, starting over from scratch at an age when most of us are just hitting our stride. Do basketball lessons apply in real life? As Minnesota Timberwolves star Kevin Garnett puts it, "You've got to work hard, know where you're going, show people you care, and communicate, you've really got to communicate. It's harder in real life, because it never stops." Read Dr. Jack's Leadership Lessons Learned from a Lifetime in Basketball, and find out what it takes to become a true leader and an unstoppable winner
