Tony Dungy: The Mentor Leader

By Shawn Brown
 
I had a chance to talk with Former Indianapolis Head Coach Tony Dungy a few days ago about his new book, The Mentor Leader: Secrets to Building People and Teams that Win Consistently. He is a two-time Super Bowl Champ (one as a player, one as a coach), a future Hall of Famer, and now two-time New York Times Best Selling author. This time Coach illustrates for us the highest levels of leadership, which include mentoring and helping leaders lead through the 7 E’s of enhancing potential (Engage, Educate, Equip, Encourage, Empower, Energize, and Elevate). In the book, he discusses several topics including why he choose to mentor Michael Vick in detail as well as who’s mentored him over the years. This is a must read for anyone looking to accomplish great things. My full interview with Coach will be posted on our site shortly via podcast. You can get the book on ShopCBN. I’d love to hear your thoughts about it.  Tony Dungy really is a class act, and when you read the book, you’ll see that he does practice what he preaches.
