  | Book Details Title: Walk Off Winning: A Game Plan for Leading Your Team and Organization to Success |
Book DescriptionFrom the Inside Flap College baseball coach and leadership guru Steve Trimper has finally collected his sought-after leadership advice into a fun and inspiring book. Walk Off Winning presents Steve’s unique insights on how to succeed on the field, in the boardroom, and beyond. This book is not about sports—it’s about the core values that make leaders great and push teams to success. For corporate teams, athletic teams, and other groups in pursuit of lofty goals and high performance, this book will be a source of immense motivation. Unlike other leadership authors, Steve Trimper has the humility to recognize that many of his best ideas came from others. The engaging anecdotes in this book come not only from his own experience in high-level sports, but also from others with whom he has come into contact over the course of his career as a motivational speaker and coach. Steve’s special talent is in bringing these nuggets of wisdom together to form a complete set of values that, when put into action, can breathe new life into any organizational culture. At its heart, Walk Off Winning aims to inspire readers to pass from the stage of simply talking about the successes they would like to achieve and instead become "doers." It’s easy enough to dream big, but in the business world the unfortunate reality is that most people overpromise and underdeliver. This gap between saying and doing is often what gets in the way when teams fail to live up to their full potential. Each of the chapters in this book offers concrete ideas for putting values into action—passing from merely saying into really doing. For those who read through each chapter and follow each of the "Coach’s Challenges," the rewards could be monumental. Adopt the attitude you want others to emulate. Don’t say over the phone or by e-mail what you could say in person. Stay positive in times of failure. Surround yourself with good people. These are just a few of the simple yet eye-opening messages inside. Taken together, these chapters will guide readers in business, sports, and beyond to true and lasting success.
