NewMexiKen only today read an article about Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski in The New York Times Sports Magazine (published February 5th).
The article, “Follow Me,” by Michael Sokolove, is excellent. It discusses Coach K’s abilities and techniques (he gets up to $100,000 for a lecture) in a context of basketball, but it is not an article about basketball. It is about leadership and management skills.
Highly recommended.
Key quote: “So what is the secret to Krzyzewski’s success? For starters, he coaches the way a woman would. Really.”
