I often stop reading books halfway through and forget the content, so first I’ll digest the piled-up books, and this year I’ll read a lot of books.
“Trillion Dollar Coach” is the first book I read during the holidays. (I bought it last year and it was piled up).
It writes about the behavior of Bill Campbell, who passed away in 2016, and the learnings from it. It is summarized based on interviews with people who were involved with Bill. Since I perform management as one of my duties, and I often saw posts introducing this book on SNS last year, I was interested in it.
I’ll look back on some highlights and finally summarize them in my own fluffy way.
Highlights that resonated with me, made me think “That’s right~”#
“It’s the people. The top priority of any manager is the well-being and success of their people.”
“Maintaining integrity and dedication is easy when winning, but much harder when losing.”
“What is a leader if they don’t stand at the front? There’s no time to hesitate, do it seriously. Failing is fine, but doing things halfway is not. If you don’t tackle it seriously, who will?”
Highlights that made me go (ﾟдﾟ)HA!#
“Leadership is about dedicating oneself to something bigger than oneself, like the company or the team.”
“A suitable leader is someone full of curiosity and willing to learn new things. Arrogant bastards acting smart are rejected.”
“An excellent coach doesn’t keep difficult things in their chest — rather, they cut straight to the point. They poke at the painful spots.”
“Don’t dictate ‘what to do’. Tell stories so they can reach the optimal solution on their own.”
“Thinking about how many of the people who worked for me or whom I helped in some way became excellent leaders. That is the measure of my success.”
“Aim for victory. But always win correctly with dedication, teamwork, and integrity.”
“A manager’s job is to gather all opinions, execute a decision-making process to consider all views, and if necessary, settle the argument oneself and make the decision.”
Summary#
To deeply exercise the kindness of snuggling up/serving and the kindness of encouragement thinking of the other person, and to strain one’s eyes and care if a peer needs either kindness. Also, to decide properly when deciding. Not to imitate Bill, but to practice these in my own way.
Although it might be unrelated to what the book wants to convey, hugs, American interactions, American culture, and good personality were also apparent, and personally, I liked that too.
