Business lessons from one of the greatest Olympic teams of all time
It’s been called the greatest upset of all time, the most memorable Olympic moment ever, the “Miracle on Ice.” No matter which superlative is used, no one can deny that the U.S. men’s hockey team’s defeat of the Soviet Union in the medal round of the Lake Placid Olympic Games was a defining moment for Cold War America.
The U.S. team’s goalie was a Boston University student named Jim Craig, who is now a leadership expert and keynote speaker to business audiences. Gold Medal Strategies gives you Craig’s unique lessons from the “Miracle” team on team dynamics, leadership, motivation, and other important management topics. With his unparalleled perspective, Craig dissects and analyzes the elements of a successful team, how to assemble one, and what philosophies will keep the team’s shared goal a reality. This book outlines the necessary skills and details the specific techniques you need to maximize your business readiness, hone competitive cooperation, gather your strategies, and attack your challengers.
