Description

Michael Jordan is the rare global icon whose celebrity extends beyond his original stage and onto multiple platforms. His relentless determination produced six NBA Championships and some of the most spectacular performances in sports history, while his enduring grace and unique sense of style made him equally famous in the worlds of fashion, business, and marketing. In this book, he makes it clear that the basis for his phenomenal success came from the inside out, thanks in part to those who guided him along the way. His skill, work ethic, philosophy, personal style, competitiveness and presence have flowed from the basketball court and into every facet of his life. This is a book about the power of collaboration and teamwork, the energy generated when people combine their creativity and passion, and a fearless desire to lead.--From publisher description.… (more)

This is an abstract take on Michael Jordan's achievements. It is different from his other books because it allows other voices to speak along with Michael. The voices of his shoe designer, marketing specialist and agent are not often heard and rarely in such a natural unfiltered tone.

tell stories about Michael from their perspective and not about his on court exploits but also about his presence and actions in such places as the board room, design office and at a restaurant.

This is not the retelling of the Michael Jordon story in a chronological order. It is a motivating story about his philosophy and values and how they made him successful off the court, in areas such as his shoe and clothing brand.
