Leadership Profile: Coach Mike Krzyzewski



One of the most successful and well-known NCAA basketball coaches of all time, "Coach K" has led the Duke University Blue Devils from the sidelines for the past 27 years. In that time, his results are staggering--680 victories, winning 78% of his games; 22 trips to the NCAA tournament; 10 Final Four Appearances; 7 NCAA Finals; 3 National Championships. His former players include such NBA notables as Grant Hill, Christian Laettner, Bobby Hurley, Shane Battier, Elton Brand, and Carlos Boozer.

Yet, through it all, Coach K recognizes his unique role on the sidelines at Duke--"I don't look at myself as a basketball coach," he says. "I look at myself as a leader who happens to coach basketball."

Few people realize that Coach K was once Cadet K--the product of service academy education, graduating from West Point in 1969. He served five years in the US Army, retiring with the rank of Captain in 1974. After coaching for five years at his alma mater, Krzyzewski accepted the head coach position at Duke in 1980.

What sets Coach K apart from his peers is his selfless dedication to improving the lives of others through basketball and his own innate gifts. On top of coaching both collegiate and world-championship teams, Krzyzewski also hosts a conference on leadership for business professionals, holds camps for both younger students and nostalgic older individuals, and helps those disadvantaged in society to dream big through the Emily Krzyzewski Family LIFE Center. You can find out more about Coach K, and how to get involved with these and more programs, from his official website.

Coach K is in the news right now as the head coach of the USA Basketball team headed to the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Marred by "lack of effort" and the image of greedy, selfish superstars, USA Basketball struggled to win the bronze medal at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. Coach K will try to lead an upstart US team with much potential to their first gold medal since 2000.

Words of wisdom from the man himself:

"When you first assemble a group, it’s not a team right off the bat. It’s only a collection of individuals."
"Too many rules get in the way of leadership. They just put you in a box . . . . People set rules to keep from making decisions."
"There are five fundamental qualities that make every team great: communication, trust, collective responsibility, caring and pride. I like to think of each as a separate finger on the fist. Any one individually is important. But all of them together are unbeatable."

He'll learn to socialize more once the tension from the new environment around other dogs subsides Imagine that you are all living your own movie Mister
They buy diamond-studded collars and give their dogs rooms all to themselves If we're going to take this lame saying seriously, then why aren't we demanding that our kids be lazy, do everything wrong and take drugs? Then we could sit back and watch them do just the opposite? Why would God have wasted his time with Ten Commandments? Couldn't He have done better with the ten sinful options? Maybe we should be grateful that God doesn't have any notions The dot matrix printing method used ribbons

Start by going through your closets After spending your hard earned money on those ink cartridges, turn them into a free ream of paper! Many office supply stores offer a free ream of copy paper when you recycle a used ink cartridge at their store Not because cost isn't important ? of course it is, but - if you have a vet that you're happy with ? who gives your dog the best care you can possibly find in your area ? does paying a little extra for that care really matter in the long run?4 Contrary to what some would like to believe, not everyone is his or her market
