Leading with the Heart

New York Times bestseller. The inspiring leadership book from the legendary basketball coach, now featured in the acclaimed Hulu series The Bear.

The Duke University's former head basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski has proved himself a leader both on and off the court. He led the Duke Blue Devils to five straight Final Four appearances, culminating in back-to-back championships in 1991 and 'ninety-two. He received five National Coach of the Year Awards—and many of the players he coached in college went on to NBA stardom! Now Coach K offers the insights he used to coax peak performances from his team, relying on lessons he learned as a captain in the U.S. Army—sportsmanship, respect, and a genuine gift for leading with the heart.
