Praise for Great Teams
"There is nothing more magical than watching a team come together, to manage adversity as a group, selflessly give to others, to find a common purpose. Inspiring that to happen year-in and year-out is what keeps us in leadership. Don Yaeger has studied the best of the best. Now it is our turn to study this book."
— Mike Krzyzewski, five-time NCAA Tournament Champion, two-time Olympic Gold Medal Winning Basketball coach, Duke University Men’s Basketball
"It takes a special formula to construct championship quality teams and in this book by Don Yaeger you will be able to see how great teams are formulated."
— Dick Vitale, Hall of Fame broadcaster, ESPN
"Everyone wants to work on or play on a Great Team. The differentiator I’ve noticed is that the best teams pay close attention to and protect their culture and their people. Don Yaeger shows in this book that the same lessons are true on the sporting fields. There’s much to be learned within these pages and I know you’ll enjoy."
— Gary Kelly, CEO and Chairman, Southwest Airlines
"There are so many parallels between building a great sports team and building a corporate one, not the least of which that great culture makes amazing things possible. Great Teams by Don Yaeger provides a roadmap for all of us, in either of those worlds."
— GJ Hart, CEO, California Pizza Kitchen
