My Review of Jay Bilas' book, Toughness


It has been said often “experience is the best teacher” and I have often said, “real leadership skill is forged by overcoming adversity.” Jay Bilas dispels many myths about “toughness” in his excellent book, one that is especially valuable for anyone seeking success in his or her chosen career.

Sports buffs, military history lovers, science reporters and middle managers everywhere take note: this volume offers numerous examples you can use in your workplace, home, church or next volunteer assignment.

Whether you enjoy sports or not and whether or not you’re a fan of Coach K, John Wooden, Jackie Robinson, Jim or John Harbaugh, Colin Powell, Jack Welch and many others who developed the required “toughness” to excel in life, you will nonetheless profit as I have from reading what Jay Bilas has written.
