Coaching Styles
The late Vince Lombardi, the legendary football coach, often used AI-style leadership. Does this style work today? It depends. Pat Summitts leadership style (Chapter 12) is quite similar to Lombardis. So is Bill Parcellss, who took the New York Giants to Super Bowl victories in 1986 and 1990. Other coaches prefer GII-style leadership. Phil Jackson, coach of the NBA-champion Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers, uses Zen-like philosophy to motivate and train his players. He has been blessed with superstar players, but he has also used a group attitude to produce results.
