The SCORE Takes Care Of Itself



The SCORE Takes Care Of Itself
My Philosophy of Leadership
By Bill Walsh with Steve Jamison and Craig Walsh
New York, NY: The Penguin Group, 2009. 251pp.


I remember Bill Walsh during his tenure as Coach of the San Francisco 49ers. I did not know much about his leadership style all I know was that while he was Coach of the 49ers they were simply dominant and seemed to always produce great teams year after year. Walsh’s book is divided up into five main sections entitled as follows:
  • An environment of Excellence (P.5 – P.32)
  • Innovation, Planning, and Common Sense (P.39-68)
  • Leadership Concepts, Conceits, and Conclusions (P. 75- 130)
  • Leadership Essentials: People, Priorities, and Performance (P. 137 – 178)Looking for Lessons in My Mirror (P. 185 – 233)
