Praise for What It Takes to Be #1:
"[Vince Lombardi Jr.] distills the substance of the famous coach's utterances and his living example into lessons that anyone can use to become a better leader and better person. . . . [What It Takes To Be #1] may inspire you to start a process of self-discovery that could enrich your life and make you more effective at whatever you do."
--Fort Worth Morning Star"Interpreting his father's advice for businesspeople, Lombardi hangs this book on the framework of the famous coach's much repeated speech on leadership… the basic "winning model" says to know yourself, build your character, earn your stripes, think big picture, and understand that leaders are made, not born."
--The Business Reader
