The Carolina Way: Leadership
Lessons from a Life in Coaching by
John Kilgo
Great Idea
For forty years, Dean Smith coached the University of North Carolina
basketball team with unsurpassed success. Now, in The Carolina Way,
he explains his coaching philosophy and shows readers how to apply it to
the leadership and team-building challenges they face in their own lives.
In his wry, sensible, wise way, Coach Smith takes us through every aspect
of his program, illustrating his insights with vivid stories. Accompanying
each of Coach Smith’s major points is a Player Perspective from a former
North Carolina basketball star and an in-depth Business Perspective from
Gerald D. Bell, a world-renowned leadership consultant and a professor
at UNC’s Kenan-Flagler Business School. The keystones of Coach Smith’s
coaching philosophy are widely applicable and centrally relevant to
building successful teams of any kind.

Personal Review: The Carolina Way: Leadership Lessons from a
Life in Coaching by John Kilgo
Dean Smith's book The Tarheel Way was a great read. This book is for
kids 12 and up. Unlike many sports books it relates sports to the real
world. Dean Smith and his co-writers do a great job of that.
Dean Smith's book talks about the way he ran his basketball team.
Dean Smith was all about life lessons and how basketball related to the
real world. He does a great job of explaining the recruiting process in his
book. He also talks about players leaving early for the NBA and he is ok
with that because it gives them financial security for life. He also
emphasizes how basketball gives students life lessons that they can carry
on in life, or in there work place. Dean Smith had a great understanding of
the game of basketball and in life in general. In his book, it is forwarded by
people like Roy Williams who have nothing but great respect for him as a
coach, and is a person. If you are interested in how a college basketball
team is run, Dean Smith's The Tarheel Way is a must read for you.
