Summary: This book shows that returning to managerial basics will provide the way forward, as exemplified by legendary UCLA basketball coach John Wooden, the model for a new people management pathway: the SCORE paradigm. Generally considered the greatest coach in history, John Wooden's recipe for team success was unique, culture-based, and ahead of its time. Building upon Wooden's 21 coaching principles and his own 35 years of experience as a human resources leader, Bill Kane has created the SCORE framework to guide people managers in creating and nurturing effective teams and steering their organizations through times of change.
