In The Starting Five, we look at five components of leadership including integrity, coachability, work ethic, mental toughness, and a presence that sets a tone. After years of careful evaluation, we determined that learning and developing these five traits will increase your influence as a team leader. The book will frame those traits around one central question… Does it make the team better? Honest self-examination is the best way to shrink the gap between where you are and where you want to be as a leader. The book is written in an engaging story format that allows discussion between the coach and the team leaders to help explain these concepts in a way that allows for practical application with immediate results.
