“@mattlady Remember: your first 30 days are mostly spent listening, learning, and gathering context! Don’t feel pressured to action immediately. It’s a totally different role for sure having been through the same thing 5 months ago. Highly recommend this book:”

Not sure if this is the right fit?
Consider The Score Takes Care of Itself by Bill Walsh. Recommended by 20 sources.
“Bill Walsh delivers his philosophy that excellence emerges from meticulous preparation and unyielding standards, not from obsessing over wins. Drawing from his 49ers tenure, the book is part memoir, part leadership sermon. The useful core is its relentless push for personal accountability and daily discipline. But the constant football context can feel exclusionary: if you don't care about specific games or position battles, the anecdotes blur into repetition, and the coaching-heavy lens may frustrate those seeking transferable, non-sports examples.”
