The Lombardi Rules

It’s Super Bowl LVIII across the pond this weekend. And the winner takes home the Vince Lombardi Trophy. But who’s Vince Lombardi?

Vince Lombardi was one of the world’s greatest coaches. As coach of the Green Bay Packers from 1959 to 1967, Lombardi too a ragtag group of players and moulded them into a championship team. The Packers won NFL championships in 1961, 1962 and 1965, as well as the first two Super Bowls in 1966 and 1967.

So much can be said about Lombardi’s leadership style and legacy—I’ll save that for another day. If you’re looking for an insider’s look at Lombardi’s extraordinary methods, then The Lombardi Rules is an excellent summary of his leadership model. (It’s also written by his son).
