Description
"Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterward." -Vernon Law You don't know what you don't know. So how do you know what not to know? Experiences. Filled with experiences and lessons learned through a life in public education and athletics. Using metaphors of doing dirty laundry to inspire ourselves to lead by example. It's a reminder that no task is too small or beneath us when we're committed to servant leadership, both at work and in life. By embracing even the simplest duties, we can create a culture of humility, service, and respect. Laundry only serves as one example, as the rest of the book tells enjoyable and fun stories to provide the reader with experiences that taught the author lessons throughout his career. Provides thought provoking discussion questions to accompany each chapter at the end of the book. It can be used by individuals or as a group study with any coaching staff or team. Overall, this book is an easy read that keeps the readers interested and brings light to lessons that should be more widespread throughout any profession.
