The inside story of one of basketball's most legendary and game-changing figures A New York Times bestseller During his storied career as head coach of the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers, Phil Jackson won more championships than any coach in the history of professional sports. Even more important, he succeeded in never wavering from coaching his way, from a place of deep values. Jackson was tagged as the “Zen master” half in jest by sportswriters, but the nickname speaks to an important truth: this is a coach who inspired, not goaded; who led by awakening and challenging the better angels of his players’ nature, not their egos, fear, or greed. This is the story of a preacher’s kid from North Dakota who grew up to be one of the most innovative leaders of our time. In his quest to reinvent himself, Jackson explored everything from humanistic psychology and Native American philosophy to Zen meditation. In the process, he developed a new approach to leadership based on freedom, authenticity, and selfless teamwork that turned the hypercompetitive world of professional sports on its head. In Eleven Rings, Jackson candidly describes how he: • Learned the secrets of mindfulness and team chemistry while playing for the champion New York Knicks in the 1970s • Managed Michael Jordan, the greatest player in the world, and got him to embrace selflessness, even if it meant losing a scoring title • Forged successful teams out of players of varying abilities by getting them to trust one another and perform in sync • Inspired Dennis Rodman and other “uncoachable” personalities to devote themselves to something larger than themselves • Transformed Kobe Bryant from a rebellious teenager into a mature leader of a championship team. Eleven times, Jackson led his teams to the ultimate goal: the NBA championship—six times with the Chicago Bulls and five times with the Los Angeles Lakers. We all know the legendary stars on those teams, or think we do. What Eleven Rings shows us, however, is that when it comes to the most important lessons, we don’t know very much at all. This book is full of revelations: about fascinating personalities and their drive to win; about the wellsprings of motivation and competition at the highest levels; and about what it takes to bring out the best in ourselves and others.

Durante su exitosa carrera como entrenador de los Chicago Bulls y Los Angeles Lakers, Phil Jackson conquisto mas campeonatos que ningun otro entrenador en la historia profesional del deporte. Jackson rapidamente fue bautizado como el Maestro Zen por los periodistas deportivos, pero ese apodo lo unico que hizo fue redundar en una verdad absoluta: la de un entrenador que inspiraba pero no provocaba, que lideraba a traves de despertar retos continuamente en todos y cada uno de sus jugadores para erradicar en cada uno de ellos sus egos, miedos e iras. Esta es la historia de un joven predicador de Dakota del Norte que crecio para convertirse en uno de los grandes lideres de nuestra epoca. En su busqueda personal de reinvencion constante, Jackson exploro muchos caminos, desde la psicologia humana hasta la meditacion zen practicada por los nativos americanos. En ese proceso, desarrollo un acercamiento hacia el liderazgo basado en la libertad, en la autenticidad y en la necesidad de creer en el trabajo en equipo por encima de todas las cosas. / During his career as head coach of the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers, Phil Jackson won the most championships in the history of professional sports.
