<p><strong><strong>An uplifting leadership book about a coach who helped transform the nation&#8217;s worst high school hockey team into one of the best. Bacon&#8217;s strategy is straightforward: set high expectations, make them accountable to <em>each other</em>, and inspire them all to lead their team.<br> &#160;</strong></strong><br> When John U. Bacon played for the Ann Arbor Huron High School River Rats, he never scored a goal. Yet somehow, years later he found himself leading his alma mater&#8217;s downtrodden program. How bad? The team hadn&#8217;t won a game in over a year, making them the nation&#8217;s worst squad&#8212;a fact they celebrated. With almost everyone expecting more failure, Bacon made it special to play for Huron by making it <em>hard</em>, which inspired the players to excel. Then he defied conventional wisdom again by putting the <em>players </em>in charge of team discipline, goal-setting, and even decision-making &#8211; and it worked. In just three seasons the River Rats bypassed 95-percent of the nation&#8217;s teams.<br> &#160;<br> A true story filled with unforgettable characters, stories, and lessons that apply to organizations everywhere, <em>Let Them Lead</em> includes the leader&#8217;s mistakes and the reactions of the players, who have since achieved great success as leaders themselves. <em>Let Them Lead</em> is a fast-paced, feel-good book that leaders of all kinds can embrace to motivate their teams to work harder, work together, and take responsibility for their own success.</p>
