“Your only job is to help your players be better.” That single idea had a huge impact on Tony Dungy when he heard it from one of his earliest mentors, and it led him to develop the successful leadership style so admired by players and coaches throughout the NFL. Now, a storied career and a Super Bowl victory later, Tony Dungy is sharing his unique leadership philosophy with you.

In The Mentor Leader, Tony reveals what propelled him to the top of his profession and shows how you can apply the same approach to virtually any area of your life. In the process, you’ll learn:

• What it means to be a mentor leader
• How mentor leadership can lead to personal success
• The seven keys of mentoring leadership—and why they’re so effective
• Why mentor leadership brings out the best in people
• How a mentor leader recovers from mistakes and handles team discipline
• Great examples of mentor leadership
• and the secret to getting people to follow you and do their best for you without intimidation tactics

As a son, a football player, and a winning coach, Tony has always learned from others on his path to success. Now you can learn to succeed for your team, family, or organization while living out your values—by becoming a mentor leader.

• "Understanding the profound effect of our leadership is often the first step toward adopting a style of leadership that has proved itself effective over many generations—a style I’m calling mentor leadership. It isn’t so much the creation of a new kind of leadership as it is a recognition and exploration of a model I’ve learned—and tried to practice—throughout my life." Pg. xv
